Not this skinny person-like most of the other skinny people in rural places, I know how to hunt and enjoy eating tasty game animals...

BTW-hotdogs are processed meat-but they aren’t what makes you overweight-it is the bun and all the other crap on it...

You can have my vaccine-I’m not going to get it anyway...

You are right-double the dose for the 35-40% of people who are obese and at further risk from the virus-it is a win/win-ka-ching, ka-ching...

Man made weaponized virus to kill off the elderly and fat. 2 groups the socialized medicine crowd want. To eliminate to get them to their utopia.

So help me understand this: the vaccine works most effectively on the people who are the healthiest and at the least risk for succumbing to the rona already. But works least effectively on the least healthy and most at risk for succumbing to the rona? If you’re healthy, it works a little better and if you’re not, it doesn’t really help. Is that right? Awesome.

True and it also is more lethal to patients with pre-existing conditions. They are of no use in the commie society. They cost too much in medical care.

I think they’ve already said that. I believe Fauci said it would only be good for a couple months.

I have been watching more & more items on the TV with patients who didn’t make it & an astonishing number of them weren’t just a ‘little overweight’.

One family had 4 or 5 who died & every one of them shown was OBESE. IF any of them was under 300 #, I would be surprised. A couple looked to be pushing 450 ++++.

Wouldn’t that compromise their lung capacity & heart capacity even without the virus???

This supposed vaccine will be like the Flu, once a year. Which is a problem for Type 2 Diabetics on Insulin and Auto-immunes patients like me.

Can’t take vaccines.

I have been wondering about the obesity risk factor, it has been mentioned in a few articles but in our society it is a generally VERBOTEN topic. Oprah is fat. But you can’t say that. My relative had gastric bypass surgery a few years back. Lost a ton of weight and looked fantastic - ten years younger! Then she gradually gained it all back, insisting all the while she was following the diet. But I can’t bring that up, because it’s judgmental or something.

So here we have a disease where a higher BMI is a significant risk factor - but the media can’t tell you that. Sweden has a obesity level of around 7%. Ours is 40%. Is this the reason for our higher death toll? Can they tell us that? And, if what this article postulates turns out to be true, will it cause a stampede to Weight Watchers? Or... will it hold back a promising vaccine?

Here’s another interesting fact. You may of heard about the seven year old child that died from Wuhan last week, in Georgia. A terrible tragedy. With only that info, you imagine a suffering child in a hospital room, slipping away. But the deeper story is that the child died from drowning in a bathtub - had the disease, had a fever, and had a spasm while in the tub.

I agree with you.

It’s funny, I was in a weight watchers meeting once. There was a woman who was pissed that her doctor called her obese.

I put my hand up. I explained that it was a medical term. In fact, I told her, we were all ( in that meeting) morbidly obese.

She didn’t like that.
