I am one of those people to some extent. For me, it's the naturalistic fallacy I can't get over. I drink caffeine daily, but the idea of hijacking my hunger with an injectable induces dread. I would like to believe that there are no long-term side effects, but:
1. We have to trust the data of for-profit pharmaceutical companies and their trials. They are incentivized to produce optimistic results.
2. It's relatively new (insofar that a lot of people are taking it). Opiates were touted in a similar way until the other shoe dropped. There exists an undefined line in time where I would feel more comfortable.
3. It is/was made of a poison from an animal.
4. The extreme benefits are overwhelmingly in obese candidates. Keto is the same way; I tried it and it was not for me because I am not obese.
I'm actually open to any sort of evidence that will change my mind. No name calling please.
