This is a great watch about the consequences of lockdowns you may not have considered. There are two sides to every story and major consequences whether you lock down or not. Millions of people will starve due to lockdowns. You have tens of millions of children skipping doses of other vaccines far more important than a covid vaccine, in the developing world. Devastating consequences in the developing world overall. Tens of millions of people thrown into poverty. 1 in 4 young adults have seriously considered suicide during the pandemic, and on and on. I'm not saying I've been against any and all types of shutdowns, but we need to consider the harm done by lockdowns and at least educate ourselves on the subject and understand the consequences.
This is a great watch if you ever doubted how many complete dumbasses there are in the world.
You have found your people. Good job-go to them, they need you.
So you just hand wave away millions of people starving to death and put your fingers in your ears and go "lalala can't hear you", but you get upset when obesity is brought up because it might hurt a few people's feelings? Your priorities seem pretty screwed if you're more concerned about fat people's feelings than millions dying of starvation. It's in the developing world though, so I guess out of sight, out of mind for you, eh? From the UN humanitarian chief themselves https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus...d-pandemic
The U.N.'s humanitarian chief has warned that without global cooperation and financial assistance, the number of people dying from hunger or hunger-related diseases could double this year due to the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.
"The effect of that is going to be, for the first time in probably in 30 years, a big increase in the number of people in extreme poverty, people living on less than $2 a day," said Mark Lowcock, U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
"And as part of that," Lowcock said, "we expect, unfortunately, that there could be a doubling this year in the number of people who are literally starving to death and won't survive unless they get help."
And speaking of covid and obesity, Wired still has this article up on it's website and has still not corrected themselves. https://www.wired.com/story/covid-19-doe...dy-weight/
Yet this rhetoric is based on flawed and limited evidence, which only exacerbates the stigma that larger-bodied people already face in society and our health care system. That stigma is what truly jeopardizes their health, not weight itself—a fact that’s only more important to consider in the midst of this pandemic.
The stigma is what truly jeopardizes their health? What a joke.
