NY hospital to pause baby deliveries after staffers quit over vaccine mandate

Obese people do not directly affect your health. I get that you’re trolling and don’t really believe what you say, but at least show some creativity here, rather than repeating nostrums that grew tired 250k dead ago.

You are right that obese people do not directly affect my health. Neither does my vaccination status directly affect yours because vaccinated people spread the virus too.

Obese people do affect my health if they take a hospital bed that I could have used when I need it. Isn't that one of the same arguments applied to the unvaccinated?

If we didn't have so many obese people, would the hospitals be overloaded? Would we have a shortage of healthcare workers?

I am repeating them because repeating works. See the Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge. It is also what the others are doing, by repeating the same "tired" lines over and over about how the unvaccinated are killing grandmas.

By the way, I'm not trolling. I'm serious. HN guidelines ask that you assume good faith.

Nope, I'm not obese. I exercise everyday and eat right. I am a very bad competitor for it, especially since the survivability of COVID is so high. I may not even be eligible; I'd have to check.

I don't know what to tell you if I look like a good competitor to you.
