Anyone who invents that magic pill or shot will probably make Bezos look poor by comparison.

I agree which also makes me wonder why every drug company and lab isn't working on this. If this cure to obesity could be found in addition to a cure for cancer and other common life threatening diseases; the profits would be unimaginable. Of course the drug companies would then lose money for treating those illnesses and the hospitals would lose money for not having to co-treat them for them as well.

Maybe that's why they are in no rush to find these cures. Maybe the government is telling them to slow down or hold off so people die earlier so Social Security payments can end sooner. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a cynic.

Read the sci-fi story by by Alan E. Nourse, MD : "The Coffin Cure - 'Report on a Vaccine for the Treatment and Cure of the Common Cold"

Better yet, it's dramatized on (OTR) "X Minus One" in a half hour show.
