Ethical question BMI

[picklemewalnuts]

My area has just started vaccinating group 6.

3 weeks ago my BMI was 40 so I was eligible to book in. Today it isn’t 🤦‍♀️.

If I can get an appointment at very short notice- say within an hour- should I take it on the basis that it's likely to be a wasted appt otherwise? Several centres near me have appointments available this evening, for example.

I doubt it’s dropped much below 40 so you are still high risk. Take the vaccine!

Yes you should

Yes of course.

One "bad" weekend, a dominoes and a bottle of wine and you're back over 40.

Yes, take it.

Yes, do it.

Absolutely take it

If invited take it.

Do it

Take it. Well done on the weight loss.

Yes

Gosh I'm amazed. Thank you.

Definitely take it.

Well done and take the vaccine.

I've lost two stone, and have another 6 to lose. A whole extra person, I've been carrying.

Congratulations for losing some weight. I think you should definitely take the vaccine still.

Ooo congrats!
Take the vaccine.

How did you lose the weight?

Wow op cross posted with you there. 2 stone is brilliant! Still take the vaccine but very well done to you!

It’s not as though the risk is zero at BMI 39.9 and 100% at 40.0, is it? They just have to draw a line somewhere.

Take the vaccine

Slimming world and orlistat, fancy. I suspect having the proper amount of thyroxine helped, too.

I really didn't expect it to work- I've dieted before. This time, however, it seems to have taken- I'm actually finding life less stressful in lockdown- lots of things that I got stressed about don't happen!

Also, bread seems to be disastrous for me. Which I now accept. I miss it, though!

Go and get it!

Of course!

I’m addicted to bread
It’s always my downfall
(Currently have a loaf being magicked up in the bread maker)

Well done!
