Medical students at UCLA are required to learn that weight has little to do with health

It's part of their "Disability Justice" class.
Included on the reading list are "Anti-Settler Colonialism/Indigenous Health" and "Environmental Racism & Justice."

First-year medical students are required to learn that weight has little to do with health, according to a new report.
The Washington Free Beacon obtained a syllabus from the "Structural Racism and Health Equity" course at The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The document includes required reading lists to prepare for classes regarding topics like "The Sickness of Policing & Incarceration," "Anti-Settler Colonialism/Indigenous Health" and "Environmental Racism & Justice."
Among the materials for the "Disability Justice" session include an article by Marquisele Mercedes, titled "No Health, No Care: The Big Fat Loophole in the Hippocratic Oath," which says "fatphobia is medicine’s status quo."
"It is proven that weight loss is a useless, hopeless endeavor. You are unlikely to lose weight in any permanent way and highly likely to open yourself to the myriad risks associated with weight cycling. The relationship between weight and health is also muddy," the essay reads.
The essay also insisted that "the concept of ob*sity is used to exact violence on fat people, and fat activists regard it as a slur."

UCLA’s medical school has come under fire in the last few months over its "Health Equity" class for its assignments and controversial events.
Earlier this month, the UCLA Jewish Faculty Resilience Group spoke to several witnesses who testified that an invited lecturer "instructed students to touch the floor, 'mama earth with a fist' while she made a 'non-secular' prayer to ‘mama earth’ and our ‘ancestors.'"

I’ve posted something similar before, but there’s a touchy-feely bullshite class in every med school that all the real docs roll their eyes at, don’t study for, accept bullshite as part of the road to get a degree.
The classes are there for the people in administrative positions who don’t practice clinical medicine to feel like they’re bettering the world. We make fun of them pretty hard after the tests are done.

Seems odd to teach lies in medical school. Denying science is ok until it is not it seems.

Think about how much will be saved on Medicare and Social Security. These people will pay in but never have a chance to collect.

I didn’t know they were able to get to class rt now

Hopefully, this will open the eyes of these students and make them skeptical to believe what they are told by the State.

When shite hits the fan and it becomes life and death, these idiots won’t stand a chance.

Science and medicine credibility took a huge hit due to Covid.
This only serves to lower the credibility.

Wow... So because folks are fat, many obese, we are going to claim that being fat doesn't cause them health problems? Well, this should go over well...

Well... statistics tell a different story.

I had a big fat boss who took a morning off to go see his Dr. Smoked, was huge.
Comes back all happy...great bill-of-health…I said the Dr didn’t tell you to lose weight? He said…well, he said I should if I wanted to feel better.
