Fatties catch the covid and die

Being unhealthy increases your risk factors for all diseases. Nothing revelatory about that.

The states listed are some of the most obese in the nation for sure, and some of the lowest vaccination rates. However, availability of medical care, quality therein, willingness to seek help before severe symptoms, etc. are other potential confounders in those states.

If people want to be obese, and not get the jab, is fine with me though.

It's fine with me too. And if they want to smoke, drink, do crack... I don't care. Insurance should factor this in and charge them accordingly.

However the CDC/FDA isn't really talking about the general health of individuals hospitalized or dead from covid.

I don't trust ANY government/MSM statistic when it comes to Covid-19 (or anything else for that matter). But especially Covid-19

Those are valid observations. Just realize that the gov't is only using the "covid" angle, to justify all sorts of lockdowns, prohibitions, mandates etc. And generally ignoring that their forced interventions don't actually have anything to do with the causes. It's really exactly the same as moving homeless people into hotels and expecting that will cure homelessness, ignoring all evidence as to why many of those people were homeless to begin with.

China found a way to just kill Americans.

Clever. Focus on fat.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just solve all the problems in the world by narrowing it down to one thing?

Obesity plays a part for SOME people - I am considered obese by my doctor, I also have type 2 diabetes, and I just had COVID and got over it without any medical intervention. I took vitamins and OTC cold medicine. That was it. I was done from start of symptoms to no symptoms in 14 days.

One of the things I learned after going through the experience of having COVID is nobody knows a damn thing. Your doctor doesn't know anything, the "scientists" don't know anything, and THAT is probably the most prevalent cause of people dying.

Now, I have a lot of other theories around COVID after experiencing it. I think there is a COVID, and I think there are other things too, and I am pretty sure the "gold standard" test they use is crap. One good reason for that is I was told not to test for at least 30 days AFTER not showing any symptoms, because I will most likely test positive for that long. If the test used to determine you have something still shows you have it 30 days after your symptoms have gone - that tells me the test is too sensitive, and couldn't that also result in "other" illnesses showing up as COVID positive?

Why is it that some people get "COVID" and die within a week, and I got "COVID" (because the PCR test said I had it) and my symptoms were very mild?

I also think there was a financial incentive for hospitals to treat "COVID" patients in a hospital setting. Some hospitals have a lot of money and don't need to maximize the financial benefit of admitting everyone to the hospital, some small hospitals however might find a benefit to that.

Its also amazing how Monoclonal Antibody treatment ISN'T being pushed. My wife, who got sick from me - took the treatment and like magic her symptoms were gone within 4 days. Her sick time was cut in HALF from my sick time.

Until you experience it for yourself its hard to understand just how retarded the doctors and health care companies are. I used to somewhat respect my doctor, we disagreed on many things before getting COVID, but after having it I don't trust her, and I will only see her for superficial things like getting prescriptions for antibiotics.

I'm curious as to why they haven't been administering monoclonal antibody treatment either. It appears way more effective than the jab.
Trump went into the hospital on Friday and was back to work on Monday.
How did your wife get the treatment? is she a nurse.
Did insurance cover it or did you pay out of pocket?
If so, was it pricey?
Thanks,

Even with overweight people Covid deaths are misleading. Overweight people succumb to the flu and other respiratory illnesses more then non-overweight people.
