I remember very clearly early in the pandemic, Dr. Birx listed a few comorbidities that were most likely to lead to a bad outcome from COVID-19. She included obesity. Did someone tell her that she was not allowed to say that because I don’t recall obesity ever being mentioned again.
Instead of advising people to go outside, breathe fresh air and exercise, people were told to stay inside and order food to be delivered to you.
What I do recall were articles after articles about "healthy 24-year-old dies of Covid" and then you'd scroll down to a photo of the decedent and the "healthy" 24-year-old weighed about 400 pounds.
