[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obesity is not a risk factor - it is a life choice - like smoking.

Cancer - risk factor.  Autoimmune deficiency - risk factor.    [/quote]

Not staying up on the obesity research, are you?[/quote]

No, but I don't need to.

You don't take care of your body - you get fat.  You get fat - your risk shoots up for a laundry list of health issues.

PP - There is plenty of online exercise classes now as well as research and information on how to keep yourself healthy.  Do that research for yourself.[/quote]

Even if you were right about what causes obesity, which you aren't, being obese still puts you at far higher risk from coronavirus than you would be if you aren't obese. So that makes obesity a risk factor. The point of the vaccine is to save lives, prevent hospitalizations, and stop the spread of the virus. You may not like the idea that people who you don' think "deserve" the vaccine are getting it early, but it makes good sense from a public health standpoint.[/quote]
