As usual, the New York Times is leading the charge in sowing confusion regarding the killer virus, tenderizing the deluded and panic-stricken masses into a mushy blob-like state of helplessness.

In this article, we learn that 30-40% of victims attributed to the deadly plague suffered from diabetes. Even the sub-headline correctly identifies a "diabetes crisis" which is another way of saying obesity crisis as the article points out that over 90% of people with diabetes have the Type 2 variety which is caused by bad lifestyle choices.
File that under the "Stuff we've been saying for 2 years on RVF" category.
100,000 lives every year! We were panicking about the killer virus when its supposed body count was far lower, yet 100,000 lives annually is barely worth a mention. Where are all the bold and courageous measures to address the true public health crisis of obesity? How about some fast food lockdowns or any kind of incentive, economic or otherwise, to steer people away from these poisons? Let's also keep in mind that the real death toll for the great plague is 10% or less of the actual numbers being bandied about.
While daring to point out that the nonsensical lockdowns and other idiotic measures have actually led to more diabetes cases through a spike in childhood obesity, the article dithers on with typical pandering woke talking points like "disproportionate effects on people of color and poor people" etc., and fluffy human interest anecdotes.
But then in a shocking turn, it comes back around to the realm of the sane with a truly baffling ending:
(My emphasis added). I can honestly say I don't understand their angle or what is motivating them to sprinkle in some reasonable bits of truth into a matrix of obfuscation and deceptions. In any case, it's obvious the tone has shifted and the order has come down from on high.
Of course, the suggested articles are "2nd Boosters, Explained" and "Preparing for a BA.2 Wave" so we shouldn't expect the assault on the psyche of the brainwashed cult members to be easing up any time soon.

Covid and Diabetes, Colliding in a Public Health Train Wreck
After older people and nursing home residents, no group perhaps has been harder hit by the pandemic than people with diabetes. Experts hope policymakers will take notice, and finally get serious about tackling the nation’s diabetes crisis.
In this article, we learn that 30-40% of victims attributed to the deadly plague suffered from diabetes. Even the sub-headline correctly identifies a "diabetes crisis" which is another way of saying obesity crisis as the article points out that over 90% of people with diabetes have the Type 2 variety which is caused by bad lifestyle choices.
People with poorly controlled diabetes are especially vulnerable to severe illness from Covid, partly because diabetes impairs the immune system but also because those with the disease often struggle with high blood pressure, obesity and other underlying medical conditions that can seriously worsen a coronavirus infection.

Even as the pandemic’s hold on political leaders and the public begins to fade, researchers, clinicians and other experts in the field are hoping the disproportionate suffering and death among people with diabetes will bring renewed attention to the disease, which annually claims 100,000 lives and soaks up one in four health care dollars spent.

Although there is much researchers don’t understand, many believe that uncontrolled diabetes greatly amplifies the perils of a Covid diagnosis. That’s because a sedentary lifestyle, putting on extra weight or failing to keep close tabs on blood sugar levels fuel chronic inflammation inside the body, which can increase insulin resistance and weaken the immune system.
