The difference here is everyone involved in the opioid epidemic knew opioids were addictive. They just enjoyed the CYA aspect of it.
It’s like sexual harassment training. Literally no one needs to be “educated” that sexually harassing your coworkers is bad. It’s done to cover the companies ass and for no other reason. The drug companies offered that cover and the rest of the establishment knowingly used it to cover their bad actions. No doctor prescribing hydrocodone thought it was a non-addictive substance.
Perhaps there will be some severe second order long term side effects with GLP-1 drugs. Time will tell, but considering we are nearly 20 years in on these and on 4th and 5th generation therapies I suspect we would have had a small hint of those by now.
I’m extremely cautiously optimistic about these drugs. They seem to be an antidote to the poison that is the modern western lifestyle.
