comment on walking through what SURMOUNT-4 actually showed about stopping, since it gets misquoted constantly in c/tapering · 74 points · 3 days ago
always ask what the placebo arm actually did in these trials, in both cases it's not "did nothing ever" it's "abruptly removed after an active period", which is a specific and different thing from a deliberate taper

Did you actually measure heart rate or is that a feeling?

Strongly agree. Heart rate escalation needs the actual data, not impressions.
