>>Should we really be putting high BMI in the same eligibility category as pulmonary disease and cancer?

High BMI is a risk factor. The point of giving priority to all people with risk factors is to stop as many deaths as possible. If anything, this is the opposite of fat shaming: it's considering the death of a high-BMI person like any other.

Yes, I get that you have a fraught relationship with the medical establishment. This is not the same thing.
