I called this. The first week that they were talking about it being a miracle weight loss drug I posted something along the lines "Just wait, we are going to find out this causes cancer".
From the post:
>Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs may raise the risk of kidney cancer, a major study suggests. But the fat-melting shots lower the risk of over a dozen other cancers, meaning the benefits may still outweigh the risks. The findings come as part of the world's largest study of weight-loss drug users which looked at 86,000 obese or overweight patients tracked for up to ten years. Overall, researchers found users had a 17 percent lower risk of being diagnosed with 16 cancers compared to people of similar weight who did not take the drugs. This was particularly marked for endometrial cancers, where the risk was reduced by 15 percent, and ovarian cancers, where the risk was reduced by 47 percent.

Statics apply to populations, not to you.
