For the nearly 19 million people around the world whove contracted COVID-19 thus far during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the millions more taking so many precautions to keep themselves and their loved ones safe from the COVID-19 virus, a coronavirus vaccine cant come fast enough. Indeed, the promise of ending this thing, and of getting to whatevers on the other side of the pandemic, can be summed in one word for those people and for all of us, really: A vaccine.
President Trump insisted, no doubt aggressively so, on Geraldo Riveras radio program on Thursday that a coronavirus vaccine is possible before the November 3 presidential election date. That may or may not be the case (it most likely wont be, even though some respected experts are predicting a vaccine could materialize by the end of this year).
However, theres one aspect of a vaccine thats starting to be talked about now which represents bad news for a broad slice of the American population, and that includes the people who its believed a successful coronavirus vaccine wont be able to help: The obese.
More than 107 million Americans, according to one estimate, can be categorized as obese, and researchers say that we already know vaccines that offer protection against everything from influenza to tetanus and rabies are less effective when given to obese adults than to the general public. A coronavirus vaccine is likely to follow the same pattern.
Will we have a (COVID-19) vaccine next year tailored to the obese? No way, Raz Shaikh, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, told CNN. Will it still work in the obese? Our prediction is no.

So, if you win, you get paid off. But, if I win, who's gonna pay me off?
Just sayin'
Moochelle?
Remember back last century when Damn Italians were blamed when posters screwed their posts?
Most of our Newbies don't use that, or for that matter, any common format for quoting,
5’9” 185 down to 165 f9r the last year.
I bet it won’t work on members of the teacher’s unions and other government employees that want a non-stop, paid stay-cation.
Shxt.. was hoping it said “liberals”
actually not, it is usually just a symptom of another comorbidity that is actually the problem.
people whose only comorbidity is obesity are only slightly overrepresented in cases. part of that is attributed to the substandard medical care fat people get. especially fat women, doctors blindly dismiss all their problems to their obesity.
Huggable.
Guilty as charged, Your Honor!
I plead for a fifth of your dinner plate, before you eat it, of course!
Don’t forget the flour....
Won’t work for chicoms, BLM, muzzies and RATS.
Finally peace on earth.
Pretty easy, actually - for Obese people who want the immunity from the vaccine, they simply have to stop listening to their doctors and ‘nutritionists’ and go Keto for a few months - then they won’t have to worry about being infected.
“people whose only comorbidity is obesity...”
Rare, though.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Now they've moved the goalposts saying we have to stay locked down unless we have 100% effective vaccine.
No matter what your cause of death, it will go down in record as coronavirus.
I’ll donate 10 pounds to you.

That one group of people it won’t work for????
