It’s not “encouraging” that “people with 4+ comorbidities” are most of the people who die with Covid.
People saying it’s “encouraging” that most deaths are people with 4 or more comorbidities are trying to imply that only disabled people are going to die.
And I’m glad a lot of you are on board with the fact that it’s fucking evil to cheer for the idea that vulnerable people will be most affected.
You as a healthy abled person can easily have 4+ of these comorbidities.
The CDC’s list of “comorbidities” (not to be confused with “underlying conditions”, they’re different) is 152 pages long and includes things like:
vaginal/vulval yeast infection
autism/”childhood autism”/Asperger’s
“short stature not otherwise classified”
migraines, also, headache (they’re 2 different ones)
gerd (a common type of acid reflux)
urinary incontinence or retention
eating “too much” or too little
drug “of addictive potential” in bloodstream
“contact with hot tap water”
and just… basically anything medical or medicalized that a person can have.
Ever told a doctor literally anything about your body? You probably have four or more of these.
Anything in your chart is a comorbidity, even your lactose intolerance or your acne.
While some conditions on the list might mean you’re more likely to get severely ill, many of them really don’t. They aren’t meant to - that’s not what the list IS.
It’s just a list of conditions that were in a patient’s chart when they died.
The idea that “people with 4+ comorbidities are 75% of deaths” means “most people are safe” is complete and utter nonsense.
A lot of people are going to die in the next few months, and the official story is that they were going to die anyways because they were already just so sick before covid! so YOU shouldn’t try to be careful or agitate for better covid protection! because YOU aren’t at risk! (unless you’re one of those disableds we’ve already written off.)
It’s fucking bullshit, and it’s eugenicist bullshit trying to train you to see disabled lives as unworthy of protection. Don’t fall for it.
