How do you know that the Government would not have done those things either way? The unvaccinated do make a good scapegoat though. Plus, I think you are greatly overestimating the vaccine's efficacy of reducing transmission, especially when it comes to newer variants. There are also many people who pose little to no risk AND are not vaccinated.

As far as the unvaccinated getting hospitalized goes, well... do you have this amount of hatred towards the obese, too?

Regardless, your comment came across as pretty hostile, you seem to have a lot of hatred.

I would be very, very angry at obese people if the cure for obesity was a tiny needle prick with almost no side effects. But the reality is, obesity is a difficult problem to overcome and requires education, effort, and time.

What do you think constitutes prevention, and treatment for obesity?

I'm not sure if I understand the question.

Nutrition education, access to healthy foods and the means to purchase them would be prevention. Then for treatment, long term dieting and exercise as well as systems to support that.

Prevention - eat less

Treatment - eat less.

You should be very angry at them. If they eat less, they would not be such a burden on our health care right now.

If you are not angry, then you are very selective about it, and you are just cherry picking... double standard, and so forth.
