CDC Director Walensky does NOT say 75 percent of all Covid deaths occurred in people with at least 4 comorbidities,.

This video was posted to our sub today and received a lot of appraisal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAFeGANSti8&feature=emb_imp_woyt (571 upvotes, 262 comments)

The post was also reported for misinformation by some users and rightly so. The uploaded video was cut in a way that takes Dr. Walensky's statement out of context. Here you see the original video on the TV show's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxZT7ra-oxs (start at around 2:33). The reporter mentioned a study on vaccine efficacy in her question and Walensky then speaks about said study. In that study, 75 percent of deaths occurred in people that had at least 4 comorbidities. She did not speak about all Covid deaths. In the next sentence, she used that figure to encourage people to get vaccinated.

We took down the original post because the video was manipulated. It is said in the end of the longer video that a shorter version was broadcast on January 7, so it might be the case that the clip that was uploaded on the sub was taken from there. For me, it seems very likely that someone manipulated the video on purpose with the intent to put her response out of context. And that's just disgraceful. We could be happy that the importance of comorbidities is mentioned at all. We could have a good discussion about the whole interview. But someone decided to create fake news instead. I don't know whether the shortened video was shared here out of ignorance or in bad faith. Without the report, I would have thought the short video was real myself. But I must say that I feel embarrassed that this cheap fake received hundreds up upvotes here before it was taken down. You can discuss about the original video here. But most of all I'd like to remind everyone of a few things:

  1. Be careful what to believe. Especially if it's a short clip and someone is acting "out of character", consider the possibility that it's taken out of context. Check your sources.

  2. If you see something that's wrong, don't just report it, but preferably explain what's wrong about it. A lot of posts get reported for misinformation out of bad faith. We consider every report, but if it just says "misinformation" but it seems alright to us, it's easy to assume someone just didn't like the post or was trolling. It helps us a lot if you shortly explain WHY you consider something as misinformation.

Do you also have PCOS? (Comorbidity?!)

Do you have two or more out of these three? -Hirsutism (coarse, dark hair growing on chin/elsewhere) -Irregular periods -Cysts on ovaries

I was browsing studies on nih.gov this morning and realized there appears to be almost a comorbidity of sorts. One study mentioned that in the UK, people with PCOS seem to be twice as likely to have ASD, and people with ASD seem to be twice as likely to have PCOS.

The cortisol connection is what prompted my search. PCOS often gets exacerbated by higher cortisol (a stress HORMONE) and autistic people have statistically more heart issues due to the constant barrage of stress (cortisol!) from "ordinary" things like phone calls, social interactions, sensory bombardment, etc.

I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts!

We don’t talk much about comorbidity here

BPD has a really high rate of comorbidity with other mental health issues. What else have you been diagnosed with, and how does it affect your BPD? How does your BPD affect your other diagnoses? I feel this is a discussion that needs to be had, because a lot of people don’t understand how BPD often isn’t acting alone. It’s a big enough hurdle on its own, so what are your other hurdles?

Fibromyalgia and ADHD comorbidity

I have been in and out of doctors offices for years due to my chronic pain. Just one year after my initial fibro diagnosis, I was also diagnosed with ADHD. I have since started treatment for ADHD and have noticed an alleviation of my fibro symptoms as well! Life seems a little less unbearable overall. I am interested in learning more about the link between these two disorders, as they have both greatly affected my life and I’m sure many others!

Honest question. If pneumonia is commonly caused by severe cases of COVID why is it considered the top comorbidity in cases of death?

When I think of a comorbidity I think of an existing condition that contributed to making COVID worse. If pneumonia is listed as a contributing cause of death I assume it was caused by COVID. If that is true, then 50% of deaths have no PRIOR comorbidity. (15% none listed and 35% pneumonia listed). Can someone correct my logic?

The only way I can tease the voices apart is to email my therapist but I feel so bad because I send him so many emails. I never expect a response and he has said multiple (hundreds probably lol) times that he doesn't mind but I feel so bad that he has to read that shit.

Anyone with chronic illness also have a very hard time managing symptoms/doctors/appointments because of comorbidity?

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if I can connect with other autistics who are also struggling with/managing chronic disabilities?

I am type 1 diabetic and recently have had some appointments with my new specialist. I'm finding it really difficult to communicate with my doctors and nursing staff.

First of all, my fatigue and autistic burnout plays a huge role in my care for my chronic illness. I have a lot of bad experiences with the medical system and so interacting with medical specialists generally gets me on edge super fast. I feel like I'm constantly snapping for the system being so inefficient and stupid.

My energy level is already really low from work and day to day life. Then I have to struggle to schedule appointments for the medication I NEED. Once I get the necessaries, my doctors also expect me to come in for routine care, which is the appointment I had today.

The appointments are, of course, only available during 9-5 hours, which contributes even more to my burnout since I still have to work 8 hours. My appointment got changed to office visit from teleconference and I had to scramble to change it back because I was not ready to take an extra hour off work for driving, parking and navigating a huge hospital campus, being exposed to more people/covid risk when I could have stayed home.

I let my doctor know how busy I am and how much of a struggle it is to do anything extra care wise, but I don't think the message hits home. I probably just sound stressed and impatient. I'm not officially diagnosed and so I don't think they understand it's part of my autistic burnout.

I'm general I find appointments to be a huge waste of time, since the doctor will usually just tell me to get tests and come back, or just refers me to another specialist, which means co-pay + more hours out of my day.

I've also had technical issues related to my equipment before and have just been referred to call a hotline for help (haha funny... I'm supposed to wait hours on the phone just to tell tech support their product is glitching out?).

And even though medical equipment is improving, the UI is still ancient and there's some issues that drive me insane so much I almost don't want to use it. I've even emailed the company personally to tell them how they could improve user function and I basically got the finger.

I've asked nurses for directions and instructions and they have consistently misread my emails, and then given very unhelpful answers (ie. asks for addre

Meaning other concurrent mental health diagnoses (or your suspicions if undiagnosed). I'm sure plenty of us have a whole laundry list, I'm just curious if there are any patterns with the folks on this sub.

I'll start with diagnoses I do/have had:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Panic Disorder/Agoraphobia

Major Depressive Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

There's a lot of undiagnosed comorbidities and a lot of people who think they are healthy, but they are not. That's why boosters are being recommended to every adult.

There's a tendency for quite a few people to overestimate their health and think they are healthier than they actually are. 74% of Americans are overweight. 43% of Americans are obese. And about 25% of Americans don't even get their yearly check up to check for diseases and catch things early.

21.4% of Americans with diabetes don't know they have it. That's 7.8 million people.

Most people have no medical school experience, and most people have a bias to think they have above average health. So when the CDC issues a recommendation that has conditions like only for elderly, immunocompromised or those with other co-morbidties, a lot of people don't realize they fall in those groups.

Being a healthy adult in this country means being part of a very small minority.

Get the booster, (if it’s been 6 months since your 2nd shot or since your J&J shot) because chances are that you fall in those groups.

From a policy perspective, this means helping ensure people have yearly health check-ups and ensuring that those check-ups are paid for.

Does Eczema commonly have comorbidities?

It seems like in my late 20s/early 30s my skin just went to shit. Severe acne, HS, Rosacea, Eczema and skin allergies. My skin was perfect my whole life until it wasn't :(

Is it common to have this all happen together? Is it due to age? My mind keeps trying to connect the dots and find some overarching cause that I can resolve, because all this can't occur by mere chance?? But I'm starting to think that's not the case, unfortunately, and its just age and I'm screwed.
