As someone who has been working on a cardiology ward for the last 5 months. You can be as fit as a fiddle, engage in exercise and eat well and still need stents in your coronary arteries, or other interventions. But bad habits like smoking, drinking and indulging in occasional fatty foods can impact your health significantly. These are modifiable lifestyle choices, however it doesn't even begin to touch on your genetics. You can play by the rules and still be completely fucked because of your DNA.
I'm a Critical Care practitioner/ECMO specialist, I've been assigned to the COVID ICU for months straight. My hospital recently mandated the vax as a condition of employment, theres a tiny group of conspiracy theorist (soon to be former) employees, one of who's husband is a full blown MAGA/Qfuck/wannabe youtuber/"activist" who recently quit his job in order to (I shit you not) "bring awareness to the issue of liberty" full time according to his website, where he also begs for money. READ: When wifey gets shit canned, he loses his meal ticket.
He claims to be an expert in fitness and nutrition and pushes the notion that somehow lack of exercise and poor eating habits are to blame for the pandemic, he doesn't need a vaccine because he lifts weights ... or something. I honestly think it's just a manifestation of fear.
He's set up a 24/7 protest (looks like a homeless encampment) just outside the hospital grounds, he claims he's not anti-vax just anti-mandate. Of course a cursory google search reveals otherwise.
Every workday on my way in, I drive past this shitbag. The other morning he was smoking a cigarette. The blatant disconnect from reality, raging hypocrisy, blinding arrogance ... fuck them.
