Did immunocompromised people suddenly spring forth from the ether in 2020? How is 'rona a new risk for them?
It
was briefly a new risk in 2020, and one that could not really be mitigated like most older risks (like the flu), and it did really involve a terrifying death. I completely empathize with the terror any genuinely immunocompromised person felt at that time.
But then the vaccines came, and virtually all of those immunocompromised people were able to get them and most went back to their lives. But by that time, a smaller population of narcissists had discovered a fertile new source of attention and sympathy from well-meaning normies, and they weren't going to let advancing medicine take that away from them.
So now they spend their days pretending it's still mid-2020 and vaccines and treatment advances never happened, and (for most of them) pretending that the prednisone they're on or whatever mild health issue puts them in the same category as a chemo patient. Not realizing that their sympathy pool is rapidly drying up, because people were only ever sympathetic to those who were
actually in mortal danger.
Of fucking course she would fucking retweet this:

She's just trying to fill every space on her blue check bingo card.
If the government has a responsibility to mandate population health, and health is a collective entity, should the government be mandating weight loss, and banning gender-reassignment surgery (which has absolutely terrible health outcomes and is perhaps the perfect example of capitalism deforming health care, by pushing the idea that every person in the population has something called a
gender identity that, if incongruent, must then be treated with expensive drugs and surgeries)?
Oh, those don't count because they're not on your side of the culture wars? Weird.
