Oh yeah, track my vitals, you'll see I'm as healthy as a house cat and stay at home just as much as one
Pay no attention to the person leaving the house, the tracker shows I am clearly in there

We are very concerned that you have spent the last 18 hours motionless by a sunny window and you appear to have a fever that is consistently over 101 degrees.
I'm Puerto Rican! 
I asked around the department if that is a legitimate thing and they just sort of stared at me and blinked, so carry on.
Isn't this the same clown car contingent that thought the Covid vaccine was a cover to inject a secret microchip into everyone so Bill Gates could track us?
as always
Health insurance salivating as they look at car insurance companies charging higher rates for people that let monitoring devices track their driving and wondering how they can get in on the action.
My shitty health insurance company keeps pestering me to use their wearable. Hell naw 
"Your chemo therapy has unfortunately been declined as we have records you haven't been getting your steps in."
I swear I heard about something like this a few years ago. My memory is way too vague on it to overpower Google's enshittified search at the moment but I think it was in one of the Virginias and involved teachers (maybe?) getting cheaper insurance premiums if they went to an approved gym.

vaccines
no
fluoride in water
no
5g mobile towers
no
5g and wifi enabled overheating device, tracking your movement, heart rate, blood oxygen while consistently reporting your location and recording all surrounding noise and conversations, implanted directly onto your wrist
omg yes
fucking cookers, i swear to god 
yes, i know, "pointing out the hypocrisy" does nothing but i just cannot handle how fucking dumb these people are

Fr I know it's pointless but I like to do it anyway to vent
Venting and getting a sympathetic word and seeing other people vent and agreeing with them is the closest thing we have to a consensus reality in the face of these know-nothing "health" advocates I swear to christ

The fuck is a "wearable"? A wearable what?
Like a smart watch that tracks your vitals but even the ones that just record your movement/steps aren't very accurate.
"Pantaloons" 
^hehehe^
We need to end corpo-speak.
A wire up the keister 😳
You want to make Americans healthier and you could either take on the agricultural industrial complex, surburbia, and the lack of third places, or you could just buy more devices and juice the stocks of some electronics manufacturer. I know what I'd pick
Pretty sure the easiest way to make people healthier is universal health care.
The corn syrup must flow

Literally the CHUD conspiracy about vaccines having tracking chips
No can do on giving you back your medicaid, best I can do is a smartwatch.
I didn't know Bad Dragon was one of his sponsors. Totally NSFW Horni
Oh wow they even have one for crackers
i wonder how many sensors you can fit into those?
"sporting a wearable" sounds like a euphemism
RFK advertising smart watches makes me actively not want to own one
Government issued tracking devices woudl be cool in a government that wasn't evil.
Zero chance it doesn't get abused at some point by some body lol. Barring star trek future, no thanks
I think even in star trek they don't just track people. All those episodes where someone sneaks off or gets kidnapped wouldn't work if their badge was an always-on tracking device
Yeah it's consensual tracking, they turn it on or off. It's a beacon
nah
Jeez us fookin ...
The "G" in CGM stands for glucose and ONLY measures blood sugar, you brainwormed idiot!
Someone please 
this fucking fool!
watch them make every american buy a smartwatch out of their own pocket from whichever company paid trump the most money
Trumpwatch. It checks your vitals but gives bonuses for burger.
CGM are a godsend, it sucks they're fairly expensive. I was paying $85 a month for two meters. That's no insurance. Finger pricking is still the cheapest option. Maybe use federal authority to bring down prices? Nah, let's back a single company and pump them full of subsidies so venture capital can snatch them up and turn their product to shit.

if anybody needs to get low-jacked with a device that generates constant biometric data for society to study and develop a strategy to stop, it's this guy and his hitchhiker.
But the data will say you’re full of shit lol
Ok...worm stuff aside, maybe he had some kind of mental breakdown or something and thinks he is the anti-christ? And this is some kind of "mark of the beast" thing he is trying to do? That's the only way I can make sense of this, that he thinks he is to bring about the apocalypse and has resigned himself to the role.
Someone please do the thing
CGM are in fact wonderful technology that contribute to a higher quality of life for people who need to check their glucose levels, a broken clock is right twice a day. Given the levels of prediabetes in the US, it would be in at least 50% of people’s interest to wear one.
