Pictured: Chauncey Morlan,
"World's Fattest Man in 1890". At the turn of the 20th century, Morlan traveled in a circus sideshow as a “freak.” Referred to as the “Human Freight Car,” people came from all around (and paid money) to see him.

I’d say 15-20% of Americans are that fat now.

First thing to pop up on google search-


“Chauncey Morlan, 43 years old, the largest Elk In the world, died at Elwood of Bright's disease. He at one time weighed 875 pounds and traveled with a circus."

Are you disputing the vaxx causes major issues with clots and is proven to be deadly?

He would have his own show on TLC and wouldn’t have to travel to get paid

I could post up outside the walmart in my town and see at least three or four like that in an 8 hour period.
