    Why don't you ever aim your one little catch phrase schtick at any of the liberal posters who actually, overtly, seek to expand government and increase spending?

    158,000? Nah. There's something else going on there.

    Obesity may cause long term health effects that take decades before getting close to death.

    We're talking young middle age folks.

    From the very beginning they these doctors (at the very beginning, when they were more honest bout covid) said that children were far less susceptible to getting covid. Just FYI.

    And... I am so happy that you did not give it to anyone else. Peace of mind...

    - higher obesity rates cause more deaths
    - there are still some deaths related to Covid
    - gun deaths (suicide / murder ) are up
    - overdose deaths are up vs 2019
    - for some that had Covid there could be lingering negative health effects.

    Also, in 2019 there were excess deaths compared to prior years trend, so there was already an underlying trend of excess deaths

    Having said all that, this issue is significant enough that it ought to be generating more discussion.

    Obese ppl do. NOT. just up n die in the prime of their lives.

    Your taking 2 co-existing data points, and randomly drawing a causal connection, that simply flies in the face of experience.

    Let me debunk your hypothesis instantly: obesity had increased for decades....right along with life expectancy. Now all of a sudden, bc the LE has plunged, you want to say it's bc of obesity. That just doesn't hold water.

    I'm not sure what the culprit(s) us/are, but we can pretty much rule out obesity.

    I'm thinkin combo of fentanyl, crime, covid, and perhaps side effects ftom Vaxes

    Covidians scrambling to account for stubborn excess mortality. It’s a sight to behold.

    Conservative talk show hosts dying because they refused the vaccine are out.

    Vaccine promoters who called for anti-vaxxers to be punished dying are in.

    An interesting observation. Is it just a play on words that by being obese they aren't in their prime?

    *sighs* We’ve been over this before. Nobody is dying from being fat. Until 2020, when we started killing multitudes, via the effects of panic and despair (later vaccines) Americans were living longer and longer as they got fatter and fatter.
