Holy shit! Is this a cultural thing thing that I’m just out of touch w, where the term originated in Sweden and is common parlance or embraced, or is this as incredibly horribly offensive as I think it is?

Someone else on twitter used the term, and they were aware of how insensitive it was and still used itpic.twitter.com/JmsGJWL7Bq

I’m genuinely gobsmacked about this. I can’t remember the last time I saw such an offensive term used in public health publicly and without shame or acknowledgement of it. Probably something related to HIV

Probably because it came from free-market libertarians. The paper itself is a wild garbage fire as you'd expect
