Interesting that, after age, obesity was the 2nd indicator of how big of an impact covid would have on one's health. I guess saving people from Covid hospitalizations and deaths should only be done via vaccinations in the eyes of the Pinterest decision makers.

Add to that Vitamin D deficiency. The kind you get when you're outside in the sunshine.

Once the unvaxxed become a minority will they get the same pressure protection from the jab pushers/Covid acolytes?

The funny thing about this policy is that it'll probably reduce total global bullshit by a decent amount.

what's missing from this discussion:

1. per Dave Smiths 'Robbie the fire:' Who dies from covid? "the old and the fat". This pinterest change is actually dangerous

2. There is a real issue with not-overweight teens (girls mostly?) who have issues with anorexia. This is a real thing. But it's also not a double digit percentage population issue, even when limited to the teen cohort.

3. there's a much bigger issue with folks of all ages being massively overweight being one of the prime comorbidities for the ro - and we're not talking about it. Bret Weinstein et al are saying, sarcastically, 'there's one answer to the ro: the vax.' Rogan has been talking about being healthy for a year, yet the gen pop isn't able to talk about it

Dunno how to fix 3), but the 1% elites aren't fat, but for some reason, aren't talking about it.

"It's where everyone belongs." Everyone, of course, except the ones we exclude. The world is upside down.

i think pinterest is ahead of itself ..... "as the world emerges..." is not happening. biden will drive the nation back in to lock down bc delta is 1/10 the cfr as as alpha......

observe: all of a sudden delta is most noted in USA pcr positives, while in uk in june alpha was far more popular.....

but wait there is lambda... this lab thing is unnaturally greek.

Its mostly children, teens, who did. It is quite common. One boy I saw balloon over 100 pounds from the stress. I don't find it funny.

criminal what lock downs and school closures did to some individuals. Parents were a big feeder in this unmitigated stress. The irony and hilarity is in the Pinterest statement.
