She can also not receive preventive sickness benefit.
Nevertheless, Aniella's risk of suffering from severe corona and death is at least as great as others with, for example, cancer, type 2 diabetes or severe kidney disease.
- We have to blame ourselves, it feels like, she says.
There is such a stigma around weight even though obesity is actually a disease.
More and more studies are now establishing that the risk of very severe covid -19 is increasing rapidly in relation to increased weight.
Aniella is four to six times more likely to be hospitalized with corona than a normal-weight person, several studies show.
Lost weight - then the vaccine is delayed
Aniella Beaulier has repeatedly sought help for her weight.
Today she goes to a specialist doctor and has managed to lose a little, which means that she is now just below BMI 40. But that she has lost weight also means that she will not get a vaccine until sometime later this summer.
The Swedish Public Health Agency has set a BMI 40 as a limit for being included in phase 3 for vaccination.
Aniella works in the prison service and cannot work from home.
She also does not receive preventive sickness benefit, which other risk groups can receive.
The limit is also there at BMI 40.
- I think that all people should have the same rights, regardless of weight and appearance. I get so upset that I and other overweight people are treated differently in this way.
