Lotta those lyrics explain one of the loudest posters on here coincidentally.

Skinny people sure had to pay for it though. IMF estimating Covid is going to cost 22 trillion over 2020-2025. (at least $10 trillion already).

That's right: Actual "fat police". But I guess "body shaming" is out, "fat is beautiful" is in...#science, I guess.

I would have preferred fat police over mask police. I guess I'll smile under the mask while protecting the freedom to wash down a double burger and fries with a 64 oz Coke.

This is complete BS. The science clearly shows that fat is fit. These people obviously have some kind of agenda. Kinda sad that people will go out of their way to body shame when they should be worrying about the more than 500k people that have died during this pandemic.
Get it through your heads, FAT is FIT. FAT is HEALTHY. FAT is BEAUTIFUL. FAT is PHAT.
Ugh, I can’t believe I had to remind people of this, I’m almost too stressed/tired to go to my front door and pick up my UberEats delivery of a bacon cheeseburger, large fries, large milkshake, and large Diet Coke from Five Guys

I thought the J&J had about a 75% efficacy as opposed to 90+% for the others? But that still might be better for a total population. Don’t follow it that closely...the J&J number might be misinformation...please correct me if I’m wrong.
