So -- where is all the ANGRY CONDEMNATION and demand for 'PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY' in the government, media and society for the fact that 78% of people hospitalized for severe COVID have been OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE and 40% of deaths had DIABETES?

About 78% of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new study Monday. Just over 42% of the U.S. population was considered obese in 2018, according to the agency’s most recent statistics. Overweight is defined as having a body mass index of 25 or more, while obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30 or more. “As clinicians develop care plans for COVID-19 patients, they should consider the risk for severe outcomes in patients with higher BMIs, especially for those with severe obesity,” the CDC wrote.

Researchers report that 40 percent of people in the United States who have died from COVID-19 had type 1 or type 2 diabetes. They add that untreated diabetes can increase the severity of COVID-19. They note that having an inflammatory disease such as diabetes can increase the risks associated with COVID-19 as can accompanying conditions such as high blood pressure and obesity. [Full Article]

As Obesity Takes A Greater Toll In COVID Deaths, Health Officials Are Quiet

The children with COVID-19 in Dr. Eugene Daugherty’s pediatric intensive care unit often have one thing in common: obesity.

“At least 9 out of 10 patients that we’re seeing who are sick enough especially to be in the ICUs throughout the state, obesity plays a part in this,” said Daugherty, who is with Novant Health’s Children’s Hospital in Charlotte.

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been numerous studies worldwide showing the heightened dangers that COVID-19 poses to people who are overweight. The World Obesity Federation, for instance, has shown that death rates from COVID-19 have been 10 times higher in countries where more than half of the population is overweight.

DID YOU REALIZE? Just months before COVID was declared a pandemic, a GALLUP POLL found THE THREE 'MOST POORLY REGARDED INDUSTRIES' in the eyes of Americans were: HEALTHCARE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

   

Yet turn on most top news channels just a year later -- and one could easily get the impression the bottom three are now at the top of the list! Pretty remarkable how quickly FEAR & MIND CONTROL can change people's opinions, ain't it?

DID YOU KNOW? CDC (quietly) admits fully vaccinated people who get COVID can carry as much virus as the unvaccinated, and could spread it to others just as easily

So -- this means the highly hysterical - and hugely hypocritical - notion that many still follow: believing ONLY the unvaxxed are responsible for spreading the virus -- simply needs to be put to rest. The CDC officially says ANYONE regardless of vaccination status can be an EQUAL transmitter of COVID 19. And by the way, they have confessed this as far back as July, actually -- albeit downplaying it *very quietly* just in a few lines of print in articles like the following -- but of course with no cable tv media repetition in the news cycle drilling it into people's heads -- which is why most still seem oblivious to to the fact...
