One of the unforseen and unaddressed issues with Joe Biden politicizing PPE and public health measures between 2020 and 2021 did is make the necessary protective measures high risk people and people with long covid must take to protect their lives seem like a political statement rather than medical tools.
Joe Biden has made life in public unsafe for the disabled not just by stopping almost all covid mitigation but also by emboldening violent fascists who harass and attack those masked in public while making the more 'moderate' members of American society into ableist minimizers who will standby and watch while it happens.
That was trump and Republicans.
And something Biden gleefully adopted instead of standing against like he promised
Note that this does not extend to people around Biden, himself. If you were to visit the White House — which, being a Tumblr user rather than an oil, finance, or weapons manufacturing executive, you won’t be — you would be required to test for covid and use appropriate PPE. It’s only us peons who are supposed to stop masking, testing, isolating, and eventually sicken and die.
Hey did you know that you can’t escape fatphobia even after death? The article talks about how these donated bodies are used for first year anatomy students to study the body, and how the 'perfect' body for that should be 170-180 pounds.
“The storage is one issue, but when you are obese, there’s a lot of tissue everywhere. The students don’t get as good a learning opportunity.”
"That program limits donors to between 170 pounds and 180 pounds, though an exceptionally tall donor might be allowed at 190.
“It’s the maximum our equipment will handle,” Powers said.
Sounds like they just need newer and better equipment?
"Obese bodies are more difficult, time-consuming and unpleasant to study, said Wade, who also heads his state’s anatomy board."
Ah yes, we've arrived at the real reason..
Quick question, if fat bodies are not accepted as potential cadavers for medical students to study on then what are the consequences for that?
Fat people are dismissed medically and are told to lose weight before even getting a chance to be examined. While alive. Then are rejected for further study after death. How many people died and will die because medical professionals are missing potential problems that could be diagnosed?
There are so many procedures where fat people have higher risk of post-surgical complications and overall worse outcome and it's always framed as an inescapable consequence of fatness that can only be solved through forcing/pressuring fat people to lose weight before surgery. But if surgeons are not trained to operate on fat bodies, the development of new procedures and clinical trials routinely exclude fat people, can we really assume that fat just makes everything inherently more difficult?
Why is it always "fat people have worse outcomes so they should lose weight" and never "fat people have worse outcomes after this procedure we developed on thin people, so we should further develop this procedure to improve fat people's outcomes"?
it's literally a skill issue. every accusation from a surgeon that you're 'too fat' to operate on is an indictment of their abilities and nothing else.
