Re. Nature today - full story to follow. (hat tip to @rowanwalrath.bsky.social) x.com/pitdesi/stat...
Fake screenshot from The Onion of a story headlined "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Agonists." The article reads, "Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of obesity drugs in this country. First it was GLP-1. Fine. Then they came out with tirzepatide, a GLP-1/GIP agonist. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because then came retatrutide. That's GLP-1, GIP and glucagon. But you know what happened next? I'll tell you what happened. The bastards kept going. Now they've got quintatide: GLP-1, GIP, glucagon, amylin and calcitonin. Five agonists. FIVE. Now we're all standing around counting receptor pathways on our fingers like idiots. Well, fuck it. We're doing five agonists."
