Is that news to you?
Is that a serious question? Are you saying you can't think of a single circumstance where being fat can cause a death or deaths?

I read it. It's a dumb comparison.Indeed . . . please read what I posted again. It was about massive concurrent strokes.

The only people dying are the unvaccinated. This isn’t controversial news.

Wouldn't Darwinism reward allowing the virus to cull the weak and unhealthy?
Over 600k Americans died from the virus. Stop being an idiot. No one is dying from the vaccine.
It IS culling the unfit, aka those stupid enough to not take a miracle vaccine that guarantees they will not die from Covid.
The only people dying are the fat and old, and there aren't even that many of them dying. Deaths are lower now than they've been almost the whole pandemic. Who gives a shit like 1 or 2% more fatassess and 90 year old grandmas die this year? I'm certainly not willing to sacrifice my freedoms so some lardass can shovel more cheeseburgers down his throatThe only people dying are the unvaccinated. This isn’t controversial news.
Being fat isn’t contagious like spreading a virus to other people. You guys really are Fn wacked out.

There's nothing really like a virus.
You're trying to compare some Final Destination situation to something real and present. Contagious viruses spread.
They have a certain and calculable impact that harm a lot of people simultaneously.
Sigh . . . if you don't get it that's fine . . .
Honest question, What am I not getting here?Being fat can lead to heart disease. Heart disease can a stroke. Someone driving a bus can have a stroke and cause the deaths and/or major injury to a lot of people at once. Pretty big impact.
Not getting enough sleep can lead to an addiction of uppers. Being addicted to uppers can cause impaired decision making and/or driving. A cross country truck driver addicted to uppers can lead to a pretty major crash that could have direct, massive and immediate damage.

A nation of fat people can have a big impact on everyone's health in a range of ways. That other things are bad and have consequences to people's health is obviously true.
I'm not disagreeing with that.
The difference between a fatdemic and a pandemic is not only the size of the impact, but the way and speed in which it spreads. Being fat is a chronic issue. It's a slow death that is going to have negative effects over long periods of time. Mostly to yourself, but it has side effects for oothers.
A virus spreads quickly, has an immediate effect, and shuts everything down in real time....as we have all seen for the past 1+ year.
These are very different things.
Based on what you posted below you are actually kinda getting it.
Obesity was just one of the many health issues that kill a ton of people.
The feds shut things down . . . different maybe, but not THAT different . . . many people still die from them.
I'm not arguing that COVID isn't a public health concern. I'm simply saying that we have many other health issues that folks need to be concerned about.
The same people invoking Darwin are saying we need to “stop the variants” aka do something literally impossible from an evolutionary perspective... not the brightest bunch.Wouldn't Darwinism reward allowing the virus to cull the weak and unhealthy?
One way street it seems... not vaccinated? prepare to get insulted among other things....
