Covid: Man offered vaccine after error lists him as 6.2cm tall

A man in his 30s with no underlying health conditions was offered a Covid vaccine after an NHS error mistakenly listed him as just 6.2cm in height.

Liam Thorp was told he qualified for the jab because his measurements gave him a body mass index of 28,000.
...
Mr Thorp, 32, said he was surprised to be offered the vaccine so called his GP to check.

He was then informed he was in vaccine priority group six because of his weight. The NHS says a BMI of between 30 and 39.9 is classed as obese.
...
It was only when he received a call back the following day that the mix-up became clear.

Rather than being listed at 6ft 2ins in height, he was registered as 6.2cm, which led to the error in his BMI.

The humor in this is obvious, but this also illustrates the "potential" in government-knows-best "healthcare".

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Does he live under a water heater in terror of a giant spider?

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

The son of my college roommate recently announced on social media that he is scheduled for his first vaccine. This guy is under 40 and not obese, just a few pounds overweight. He's a flaming homosexual and recovering alcoholic who takes anxiety meds. Not sure how any of that qualifies him to step ahead of people over the age of 65 in the vaccine line, but here we are.
