How about we force gastric bands on everyone instead to stop this obesity pandemic, the death toll is unbearable any longer. That sound 'trendy' for you? Just need to media to drum up all the fear about how eating crap is contagious and you eating less saves the lives of others who get your excess food. Still trendy?

But someone's weight doesn't pose a risk to the ones surrounding them. And i've yet to hear how hospitals get filled with obese people and doctors are struggling with waves after waves of obese people that need to be bedded and taken care of. These are simple things, but you need to have some bare minimum amount of neurons to realize this. And somehow you lost yours. What happened - an accident or is it congenital?

It does pose risks to others when it depletes social health resources.

And this is exactly what the virus has been doing since day one. Forcing one lockdown after another, because hospitals fill like it's nothing. In my city, ambulances have more in common with a private tour shuttles - jumping from one hospital to another.

Yet, these antivaxers simply can't accept reality. They are like flat earthers - Earth is round below their feet, but they insist the opposite. Only instead of NASA lying to them, now it's "fascism" (like anyone can give the actual definition of this), the pharma mafia, plandemic. A bunch of delusional morons in agreement with one another doesn't make them right. But for that to be realized, you gotta have a bare minimum of neurons left in the hollow top bone.

As someone who would enforce vaccination certificates, I would kick such people out of the healthcare system or make them pay more for living obese unhealthy lives.

You'll be up for review shortly, here is your list of 'healthy' substances as declared by the health minister. Deviating from this list is considered unhealthy and you shall be scheduled for gastric band surgery and excluded until that time. (yes I'm being deliberately extreme :p)

Do you see how using such a narrow lens could be unwise? How many boosters are you willing to tolerate to maintain your certificate, 2, 5, 10? How about we make them a monthly requirement, any issues?

The certificate does not stop you catching or spreading covid, but it will make you feel more 'safe' and better about yourself.

Hey, as an obese ADHD person in a country that does not really treat ADHD I would advise against that policy. My overeating is a coping mechanism, not a choice.

It is much harder to take care of yourself when you have less money, also. Typical example from the US is eating cheap, subsidized burgers instead of healthier veggies.

Maybe tackling the stress from the "modern" capitalist lifestyle might help everyone to lead a healthier life. :-)
