That should be a given Pulisa that people with serious illnesses go towards the front of the queue. My Dad had his NHS letter today so I booked him in for his jab this Tuesday.
I think the obesity question is less clear cut than appears on the surface. While yes we are responsible for shovelling the food into our mouths, isn't its source a form of self-hatred tied in with self image/self esteem? I remember prior to my own anxiety kicking off in a major way aged 20, I was skinny with my weight always stable. Within 6 months I'd put on a stone and a half without remembering how. Poor mental health and poor physical health coexist frequently.
