If so may Americans are sick unhealthy , fat, out of shape and marching to death, who can we blame?
Surely not ourselves?
My wife has diabetes. 5'2'' and 115 pounds. Not overweight. Fought some bad genes? Maybe. Both her dad and mom had it neither really heavy.
Me? 59, no probs yet 6'2'' and 185. Still run a bit and keep active.
Oldest son? Now in Marine reserves, 5'10 and 220. Still muscle, but have told him to watch it. He is 25 so it is still cool to be a muscle guy.
Young son, in the army now. Maxes his PT tests. 5'9'', 165. Has been able to outrun me since age 8. Build like a Greek statue.
None of us have big health problems. We just eat home cooked food, keep active, and love being outside.
Oh, we are all vaxed!
Long and healthy life!
So why are 2/3rds of American adults fat passed degenerates who are going to die and cost me money in the process?

You really don't understand how that is?
For a start, they're two different numbers. All COVID deaths include all of them from start to finish, not just the recent ones, or any others.
So of all COVID deaths, 50% were diabetic.
Now on to a separate stat. This time, the stat is that 99.5% of deaths are unvaccinated people. They're pushing this one to get vaccination rates up. And they're just talking about people without the vaccine, not diabetic people without it or healthy ones or young ones or old ones ... ALL of them in one aggregate clump.
The two stats can overlap and not contradict.
Incorrect.99.5 percent of people dying since May have been unvaxed.
I did not try to conflate covid with diabetes, the OP did
I merely pointed out that if the OP was correct, than the 99.5 percent who died must have been 50 percent diabetic.
How many people is the total that has died from COVID since May in the US?

But you've already pointed out that you were inclined to physical activity to begin with.
The whole lockdown hit at a point when I was rehabilitating a shoulder after major surgery. It needed more challenge than just daily activity, so I was signed up for water aerobics at the local community center on top of PT. Then COVID happened and everything shut down.
I found ways because I had to in order to complete rehabilitation.
Most people aren't in that position, and if you aren't inclined to be physical to begin with, then the lockdowns gave you an easy out.

Don't know about that, but it sure didn't help when we locked them all in their homes, on their couches to gain 15 more pounds through stress eating to "save" them from something that has a better chance of killing them if they're overweight, and of course, we won't even talk about how gyms and other exercise facilities were "nonessential".
" we locked them in," I didn't did you? You stop them from walking around the block, or doing some pushups?
Some people need structure. Some people need obligation or to feel responsible in order to maintain.
I happen to be one. I need to obligation of a class or practice in order to be motivated to go workout and exercise. Just getting up off the couch doesn't do it for me. I practice on my own because I am competitive; I am competitive because I practice. I practice because I signed a membership to the dojang.
Do you see how this works?
I am luckier than most. My group kept up via Zoom classes and practices, but the community center was completely shut down.
And when we're talking about a group of people who aren't active all that much to begin with ... it's like signing a death warrant.
Masks. Distancing. Sitting in the grass after the walk 10 feet apart and talking. It took effort.

Straight question, why would you be ok with your sons being vaccinated while very healthy? Thank you for pointing out that not all diabetics are overweight. Some Americans would look at it another way. Why are 2/3rds of Americans who took vaccine going to die and cost me money in the process? Just flipping it that's all. If your 8 year old son was out running you I suggest you type more than you run.
Sorry OP
All good

My sons are over 17. Adults don't need my ok to make medical choices.
I raised them to use logic and reason. They made their own choices.
You have no proof in your flip. Just a really awful wish on your part.
I know fat folks have serious heath problems. They get sick more often, and die painfully at a cost to society. There is no logic, reason or proof to your assertion that people vaxed present any risk to our heath care - quite the opposite.
99.5 percent of Americans dying right now from covid are unvaxed , at a great cost to our health system

Again, my point is that if you weren't inclined to work it before, shutting people inside with dire warnings about going out and about wasn't the proper way to help them with their waistlines. It's all the excuse someone would need to never leave their apartment.

It was no wish, just a flip. Any different to your comment on Americans costing you money? So back at you, was it a wish of yours? Or just flip flop?
Ghosts lol behave yourself lol. I think you in latter stages.

No one has much of a choice to getting a disease when breathing in air at the market as compared to allowing themselves to get more and more obese over decades, when they could just get up and walk around a bit for free.

Look it up. Then you can belittle actual human lives and say that it is a small number.
Of humans who have died and might have lived if there had not been disinformation about the vax. Who knows, they might have made a decision not to get vaxed based upon something you posted?
Feel ghosts chasing your eternal soul yet? I am told it starts with a vague sense of impending doom and leads to poor sleep and eventual madness..

So, is it the diabetes that raises the risk or the meds used to treat the diabetes that cause the problems. Metformin can block the uptake of nutrients in some people, it gives them the runs after a period of time and depletes some minerals and vitamins in the body. That also could weaken a person and cause increased death in the infected people. I know at least a half dozen people who quit metformin for that reason and within like three weeks they were feeling decent again, a couple of months and they were back to normal.
They do not address the actual cause of the risk, only equate it to diabetics, and most people with doctor verified diabetes are on meds.

For some Obesity is a disease, you think everybody eats junk food, you are so detached from reality. Yet you are happy for them to pay their taxes yet you don't want to pay for them. Who funds the Military your son's are enrolled with? Taxpayers including many that are both Diabetic and Obese.
