Preventable Death: The Problematization of Fat People from Hurricane Katrina to the Coronavirus
My guest today is Dr. Cat Pause. She is a Fat Studies Researcher and the host of the fat-positive radio show Friend of Marilyn. She and I talk about the ways in which fat people are blamed for health care system breakdowns and failures during natural disasters, and now, the Coronavirus Pandemic. We also talk about what plus-size people need to know before receiving our first, second or third COVID vaccination. Size matters, both our bodies and the size of the needles used. If you've begun the vaccination process or completed it, help create equitable health outcomes for the plus-size community by sharing your experience via the Covid Fat Vaccination Research Survey. It's quick, easy, painless, and you don't have to leave your home. Stay tuned to learn more, and don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE!
