"If a publication ran an editors' note to 'clarify' that some portion of Nazi death camp victims had preexisting conditions, it would rightfully be accused of Holocaust denialism," said one observer.

Mohammed, according to his doctor, had pre-existing health problems affecting his brain and his muscle development.
I love how this pre-existing condition is important enough to issue a correction about but mysteriously not enough to give us the fucking name of.
- Well, he had complications from chronic starvation, so you can't really just say this was all acute starvation, can you? Fucking antisemite.
Save the receipt
They taught us this when they said "dont worry, Covid only hurts/kills people with preexisting conditions" and we all went back to "normal" because we didnt have preexisting conditions. The pandemic to genocide pipeline is real. Dont allow them to normalise killing disabled people for you. Not here, not in Gaza
- 20$ says the pre existibg condition here is related to chronic starvation.
- It’s just so ableist logic as well.
  Like oh well anyone with a pre-existing condition is disposable apparently.
Fuck the new york times, tell us the individuals who decided to use their free will to do this.
