It seems that researchers
have found that a popular weight-loss
drug may cause blindness.
Normally, that kind of news would mean curtains
for the company that manufactures the drug because it might make everybody
freak out and stop buying that drug. But in this case, it might not be so bad.
Because you can be blind and
still be cool. Or at least that’s how I think a lot of other people think. I mean,
look at Stevie Wonder. Everybody thinks Stevie Wonder is cool. And yet
everybody knows Stevie Wonder is blind.
I recently saw a jazz combo
performing and one of the musicians was wearing sunglasses. It was indoors. And
I couldn’t tell if the guy was wearing sunglasses because he was blind or
because he was cool.
So, when someone does a cost/benefit
analysis of becoming skinny but maybe becoming blind in the process, they might
be more inclined to take the drug anyway and run the risk of going blind.
But if taking a popular
weight-loss drug could cause somebody to be crippled like me, that would
probably be a different story. It would be like those dumb shits who won’t get
their kids vaccinated because they heard somewhere that vaccines cause autism.
Even if that was true, these people are saying that they’d rather that their
kids caught something like measles or whooping cough or the plague than maybe
be autistic.
If taking the popular weight-loss
drug might turn a person into a crippled old man in a motorized wheelchair like
me, a lot of people probably wouldn’t take the risk anyway because they don’t
think that anybody can be that kind of cripple and still be cool.
They would probably consider
that to be a fate worse than being fat.
