True, though the ladder is longer and that is not a neutral detail — six dose steps means six opportunities to stall on the way up, and plenty of people never reach the dose the headline number came from.

Pushing back on EndoResFellow here. The "tirzepatide is simply better" summary irritates me.

If the reason for treating is cardiovascular risk rather than weight, the evidence base points the other way.
