      It's a good thing that actual public health professionals look to data to understand risk rather than a comic strip artist's "strong feelings" about obesity. Shaming people for their health status or body weight will not offset the destruction of civilization he's fretting about.https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1260679741436125184 …

      How many Americans have died from #coronavirus who were under 60 and also had a "healthy" body weight? I have a strong feeling that political correctness is preventing us from understanding our individual risks, which could keep the economy closed and destroy civilization.

      If they actually just analyze and report the data, and not try to be politically correct, we would have seen some specific recommendations. @ScottAdamsSays is right. Suck it up and do/say what needs to be done/said.

      Nobody is trying to be politically correct. Of course we need to analyze and report data on risks. That's how those risks are actually determined--not by stigmatizing potential risk factors.

      No one I know wants to stigmatize. Join the adult table where that isn't even considered. We're talking about health risks while you are on the wrong topic.

      Replying to @ScottAdamsSays @katapayadi

      Hopefully nobody wants to stigmatize; nevertheless, substantial evidence supports the fact that obesity stigmas underlie health disparities and reduces quality of care (review attached). It is impossible to estimate body weight as a COVID risk w/o accounting for this variable.

      It's not political correctness that is getting in the way of accurately estimating this risk. It's the confounding variables associated with body weight, which is why there are conflicting estimates of COVID-19 risks associated with obesity.

      Weight is a known risk factor. That's what we can know and act upon. The existence of those confounding variables doesn't influence decisions because individuals will not know those details about themselves.

      Replying to @ScottAdamsSays @katapayadi

      In many cohorts, weight and risk are correlated. But controlling for confounders is critical to actionable decisions. There's no benefit to recommending weight loss if the problem is actually socioeconomic or health care disparities. Then the risk isn't individual, it's systemic.

      That's empty bullshit jargon. If high BMI people die at higher rates, they can make their own decisions about how to deal with it in the context of a national crisis. Knowing more would be great, but we don't. Come join us in the real world.

          Have you somehow found the magic method that helps people reduce their BMI & sustain that reduction long-term? Because as far as I know, excluding surgery as it’s not an option atm, none exists. So no, it’s not actually something ppl can change in the real world.

          Furthermore it’s not that simple. In theory, BMI could be reduced through many methods & each of those methods might have different effects on health. Ex: Removing legs will lower BMI but prob won’t ⬆️ health. Same with eating disorders. Diet & exercise can be very different.

          Weight, diet, race and sexual orientation are discriminated against and stigmatized. We still have to consider and weigh these factors if they influence the diagnosis, treatment or outcomes.
