It could be the biggest drug. It might get out of phase 3. It may get approval very soon. And of course, "may be a game changer."

When the news is this fast and loose with anything that even looks like a fact how am I not to see this as rank manipulation? There is nothing critical in this article except for how hard doctors and insurance companies might be pressed to prescribe it.

Then they end with this gem:

"But Seigerman said it will also put pressure on smaller companies developing pills, such as Structure Therapeutics, to find a partner that can help them compete in the weight loss drug market with pharmaceutical behemoths like Eli Lilly. "

Oh. I see. It's not just manipulation but dumb protectionist gate keeping.

Depressing.
