Vaccines that prevent diseases are questionable, but brand new weight loss drugs are totally fine! I’m sure getting tons of people on it long-term won’t have any side effects. They can just take it for the rest of their lives, right?

Does anyone else remember the Fen/Phen debacle in the 1990s? It was a widely-available weight-loss drug that caused heart problems.

The findings indicated that approximately 30 percent of people who had taken the combination for up to 24 months had abnormal echocardiograms, even though they had no symptoms.

There were more than 50,000 liability lawsuits.
