John Sexton wrote up a NYT article about "fat acceptance" influencers who decided to lose weight.
As you've probably heard, such people are mercilessly attacked and canceled by the "fat acceptance" community. They are insistent that everyone joins and remains a member in good standing in their death-by-chronic obesity suicide cult.
Someone, I think maybe Short Fat Otaku, offered a blunt reason about why "fat acceptance" is a cult for teenagers and twenty-somethings, and why those thirty and older begin leaving the cult: Because obese people either begin getting their first scary diagnosis -- such as diabetes 2 -- in their thirties, and because they start dying in their forties.
Fat acceptance maniacs always claim you can be morbidly obese and "healthy." Well yes you can be -- if and only if you are 18-28 years old. Young people are naturally healthy and can indulge a whole range of very unhealthy behaviors, from smoking to drug abuse to college and post-college alcoholism, and bounce back pretty well when they quit. Because they have a Wolverine-level healing factor.
Once you're out of your 20s, though, these unhealthy behaviors start imposing real and permanent consequences on you.
I quit smoking the second time I hocked up a very gnarly piece of bloody gristle out of my lungs. I googled "can you cough up part of your lung" in a frenzy. Sources said no, it's just thick mucous with some blood, but it sure looked like a piece of lung, and then I said: "That's it. I'm done with this."
And that didn't happen in my 20s.
These kind of unhealthy behaviors do not kill you quickly. They take years and decades. But eventually the chronic conditions do show themselves.
And so you have these 31-year-old fat acceptance fatinfluencers being told that they're going to have to go on insulin for life unless they start eating less and exercising more, and so they start dropping their bad habits like, well, bad habits.
On to the non-vaccinating vaccines: In 2021, the CDC prepared an alert, warning that myocarditis was a possible side-effect.

And speaking of low-impact exercise: <a href=" https:="" medicalxpress.com="" news="" 2024-02-tai-chi-high-blood-pressure.html"="">Tai chi is good for you, researchers claim.
Well they're Chinese researchers so they may be biased and they may just be corrupt government tools.
But I still think Tai Chi is a good, low-impact exercise for people.
A large team of medical researchers affiliated with several institutions in China reports that volunteers engaging regularly in tai chi for one year saw greater reductions in their systolic blood pressure than did volunteers engaging for one year in aerobic exercises. Their study is published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
Prehypertension is a condition leading to hypertension, another name for chronic high blood pressure. Prior research has suggested that aerobic exercises (those that increase breathing and heart rate) can head off the development of hypertension in those with prehypertension. There have also been reports of tai chi having much the same effect.
For this new study, the researchers wanted to learn more about the impact of both activities over an entire year. To that end, they recruited 349 adult volunteers with prehypertension. The group was split approximately in half, with one subgroup committing to doing tai chi for one hour four times a week for a year, and the other subgroup doing aerobic exercises with the same frequency. The researchers took blood pressure measurements at the beginning of the study, at six months and then at 12 months.
The researchers found that tai chi had a more significant impact on reducing blood pressure than aerobic exercise. More specifically, they found that those volunteers in the tai chi group saw changes of -7.01 mmHg compared to -4.61 mmHg for those in the aerobic exercise group when tested in an office setting and walking on a treadmill.
Evidence has purportedly been uncovered that the CDC knew during the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out that the vaccines were associated with an increase in potentially deadly heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis. Still, the agency allegedly swept that knowledge under the rug.
The revelation stems from an internal email dated May 21, 2021, between CDC officials obtained by The Epoch Times. In the email titled "Draft alert on myocarditis and mRNA vaccines," Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, the CDC's lead on Equity in COVID Data and Engagement, informed two other senior CDC officials that the alert was attached. However, The Epoch Times was unable to obtain the draft alert.
A FOIA demand was submitted, seeking the report.
Want to see what the CDC released?
Apparently that is all too real.
These people need to be imprisoned. They have no right to hide information about their own malfeasance and malpractice from us.
It's maddening.
On to the cute animal videos:
