I don't see any(?) comments concerning Nellie's links re the obesity factor in COVID hospitalizations/deaths, especially for under 60s. COVID reality smacks down the "fat is a perfectly healthy body type" fantasy.

We are a fat and unhealthy society that wants big pharma to solve our problems instead taking better care of ourselves. Just give me some shots. And force others to get shots, since my shots don't work unless you get shots. That's how shots work, you know. This leads to demands to refuse healthcare for anyone who didn't get shots, yet the fatties are three times (what the CDC said) more likely to require expensive hospitalization than the skinnies, all other things considered. Where are the cries to deny healthcare to the fatties who are hogging healthcare resources as if they were at the Caesar's Palace buffet?

Instead of (or in addition to) so-called vax passports, how about weigh-ins at the door? Indoor dining not permitted unless your BMI is under the obese threshold. Or reverse the mask rules. If your BMI is over the limit, you have to stay double-N95-masked the entire time while eating.

Sir R...nice pointing. Since the "BO health care" was sold on the idea that we needed to cover those 30 million without health care AND now we still have 30 million without care, we see No more room in the "BO care". The solution, run up the price on food and close your bars and restaurants. Also...solves the Global Warming problem along with solving Monotheism.
