This is part of a long list of Novo's misdeeds, including, but certainly not limited to, putting doctors on their payroll to promote their drugs to the media without disclosing their ties to Novo, creating AstroTurf organizations that claim to be advocacy groups for higher weight people, but are, in fact, funded by Novo and other pharma and weight loss surgery groups and lobbying for their priorities, marketing their drug through Grand Rounds presentations,

creating PSAs and sponsored content using people who, you can't make this stuff up, play doctors on television, releasing a wildly misleading press release about a study prior to releasing the actual study so that it can't be fact-checked, co-opting the language and concept of anti-weight stigma activists in order to sell weight loss drugs, getting suspended by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry for Unethical Practices,

getting caught in unethical practices by investigative journalists, and, very recently, engaging in misleading advertising.
