Wild how we have just allowed public health to decide that BMI is a risk factor for covid
The CDC lies about fat people and BMI regularly and have been doing it for a solid 3 decades.
Public health lies about fatness constantly.
Why would they stop now

Maybe if Public Health as a profession
Hadn't been so eager to wallow around in diet industry money for 3 decades
Maybe they wouldn't be so fucked up at bad at this when we actually need them to not suck

It is not surprising to me to see the complete FLAIL of the US and the UK when it comes to corona
The US and the UK have long since hollowed out the concept of public health to make room for more diet industry grift

The thin ideal exists because of colonialism.
It should not be surprising to see the UK and the US be completely unable to put down their fake size metrics even at the most dire of times.

The CDC is a political agency.
It has been politics first for a long long time there.
This has just made that obvious and a lot of people are now seeing how bad it's been for a long long time

TW- eating disorder
The FDA refused to take diet teas off the market even after people died from them
Because people have eating disorders and they 'choose' to purge.
That's what the FDA did.

The CDC made up death statistics about fat people.
The Bush administration said it was ok to torture people in Gitmo through starvation
Because the diet industry exists.

And no one gave a SHIT.
About this publicly available information.
But now it's going to really hurt.
Because you thought someone was making sure the science was real
And no one has been.
Not for a long long time
And so we are screwed

If it wasn't so delicious to hate fat people... And SO profitable!
Maybe we could have public health that actually works.
Instead, we have this... bullshit

The CDC just flat made up numbers when it comes to fat people.
Made them up so hard that reporters actually got involved.
Sorry to burst your bubble about the CDC, but they did that.

You take the work Christy has done and the CDC's history of making up shit about BMI
I am forced to conclude that they are probably making this up too
And if they aren't, let them prove it out in the open, if they can

Even if it turns out, after all this is done, that there is real Science sàying that corona outcomes are worse for fat people
The fact that fat people are given worse health care by medical professionals who openly loathe us...
You cannot untangle that.
People don't even TRY

What exactly do you even expect people to do?
There is no way to permanently make a fat person be a thin one.
You might as well say the corona gets tall people more, so everyone should bend over and call that "health"

This is not health care
It is discrimination and punishment of a hated group
In the middle of a global pandemic.
The people who did this at the CDC should be ashamed of themselves.
I know they won't be, but they SHOULD
