Kim Kardashian has to face her critics<\/a>.<\/p>\nThis week, she shared a post that was not an ad, or about fashion. She just wanted to talk about a \u201clife saving machine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Medical technology can be very exciting. But Kim\u2019s post may have missed the mark.<\/p>\n
All across social media, people are calling her out for being tone deaf. <\/p>\n<\/noscript>Kim Kardashian recently underwent a preventative health scan, she shared on Tuesday, August 8, 2023. While the technology is fascinating and could save lives, Kim\u2019s post did not go over well. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn her post on Tuesday, Kim very excitedly spoke about the full-body scan that she recently underwent.<\/p>\n
\u201cI recently did this @prenuvo scan,\u201d she announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd,\u201d Kim contnued, she simply \u201chad to tell you all about this life saving machine.\u201d<\/p>\nWhile posting about a preventative health screening, Kim Kardashian shared a mirror selfie on August 8, 2023. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe Prenuvo full-body scan has the ability to detect cancer,\u201d Kim detailed.<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cand diseases such as aneurysms in its earliest stages, before symptoms arise.\u201d That\u2019s the key to beating many otherwise deadly ailments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was like getting a MRI for an hour with no radiation,\u201d Kim shared. \u201cIt has really saved some of my friends lives and I just wanted to share.\u201d<\/p>\nIn this Instagram caption that she shared on August 8 of 2023, Kim Kardashian expressed her excitement to share her experience with a new piece of medical technology. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAdditionally, Kim clarified that this post was simply authentic excitement, and \u201c#NotAnAd.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notably, she and other influencers must identify ads when they post them on social media. The alternative means risking a fine.<\/p>\n
But this company seemingly did not pay Kim or secure any deal with her to promote their product. She just thought that it was neat, and important.<\/p>\nKim Kardashian may be excited during this July 2023 episode of The Kardashians, but her shoulders are screaming \u201cwe got too much sun!\u201d (Hulu)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSo what\u2019s the problem? She didn\u2019t write anything mean, or appropriate any marginalized cultures. What\u2019s the deal?<\/p>\n
You have probably already guessed.<\/p>\n
Kim\u2019s post really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because it seems so, so <\/em>out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.<\/p>\nOn Season 3, Episode 9 of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian sorted through her expansive storage. (Hulu)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThat safe, one-hour scan that Kim mentioned?<\/p>\n
According to the company\u2019s website, it costs $2,499.<\/p>\n
Pocket change for Kim. Two or three months\u2019 rent for millions of Americans. <\/p>\nTo hear Kim Kardashian tell it, she could not have been more mindful of her sister\u2019s wedding and feelings. And she claimed to have the receipts to prove it. (Hulu)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis kind of life-saving healthcare technology could save someone\u2019s life, and <\/em>tens- or hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical debt.<\/p>\nBut most <\/em>people cannot afford anything like this. Which means that doctors will catch these conditions later. Possibly, too late.<\/p>\nEven insurance equality measures like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act leave out countless Americans. And just because someone has health insurance doesn\u2019t mean that they can afford regular check-ups, let alone this kind of scan.<\/p>\nKim Kardashian looks like she\u2019s geared up to fight Thanos as she supervises a Dolce & Gabbana fashion project in Milan in late 2022. (Hulu)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nObviously, Kim has grown a great deal as a person since her crying and wailing over losing an earring. (Remember the \u201cKim, there\u2019s people that are dying?\u201d quip from Kourtney?)<\/p>\n
But it looks like, in her earnest excitement about this medical technology, she forgot how woefully inaccessible this is.<\/p>\n
People whose middle class incomes<\/em> still have them delaying grocery trips until the next paycheck \u2026 just aren\u2019t going to share her enthusiasm. All of these breakthroughs are meaningless when they remain the sole domain of the wealthy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes, even a powerhouse like Kim Kardashian has to face her critics.
