NYC mayor requires anyone going to a restaurant/bar to be free from obesity or diabetes
He says this “diabesity pass” is to protect personal health & also to prevent overwhelming hospital systems
Critics say these measures are punitive & discriminatory
😂
The “diabesity pass” provides free access to meat & chicken patties as well as salads, at all fast food restaurants.
The diabesity pass also provides free gym memberships and group fitness classs throughout the city.
The diabesity pass comes with a remote step counter & adds $10 to your bank account for every day you walk 10,000 steps
Just kidding…. They don’t give a shit about you they just want to give you a shot, free Krispy Kreme, free Sam Adam’s and lock you in your homes
If this is not clear - this is a joke - it’s my dark humor - in these times I find some comfort in creating eerily dystopian public health measures that are simultaneously interesting and disturbing
Hope you can deal with the sarcasm and dark humor!

The problem here is that BAD data & poor assumptions led doctors to wrongly say that the vaccine prevents spread, this endpoint wasn’t properly tested & when breakthrough cases became clear it further eroded trust, which was already minimal given the coercion & virtue signaling
Call for vaccine mandates in the face of consecutive “discoveries” of adverse events clots, myocarditis then GBS… calls for children to be vaccinated w/o proper outcomes studies, & institutions/companies mandating a therapy with limited tested WORSENED it all.
The fact that adverse events were discovered after the approval is reason enough to at least pause and reconsider on an individual basis, the personal risk reward.
The low morbidity/mortality in children should also give pause and careful consideration
I saw a recent patient who came to me for weight loss & diabetes remission… he lost a significant amount of weight & his sugars improved but his lipids did not improve, an ensuing CAC showed a score of ~10, the patient was in his 3rd decade… I recommended a statin
I rarely prescribe statins in primary prevention but a confluence of factors leads me to believe this patients underlying dyslipidemia including high TG, low HDL & high LDL will not improve with lifestyle alone
Why do I bring this up?
🗣I believe the pharmaceutical industry is profit driven & wants the widest possible base to sell to
🗣I don’t trust medical organizations & verify guidelines myself including primary data
I’d like to formally invite @drjkahn and @gorskon to discuss the physician’s role in vaccine uptake on our podcast @LCMDPodcast which is consistently top 10 in medicine for iTunes
I’d be happy to have either guest but preferably both!
