I think, speaking as an obese person, that if there was a solution that was as easy as getting jabbed in the arm twice - I'd jump on it in a moment. Obesity has a diversity of causes but I can guarantee you that it's never an easy thing to overcome.

The obesity examples fails because obesity is non-contagious. The issue with COVID is that not getting vaccinated puts your coworkers even more at risk in an environment where you're already much more likely to be infected.

Additionally, in health care you're often working with patients who have comorbidities, for these patients, contracting COVID from a healthcare worker could be a death sentence.

But the risk with obesity and Covid is that they both overload the healthcare system. As long as it keeps working fine then Covid is unlikely to spiral out of control. Obesity itself seems to make Covid worse.

There's plenty of research showing that people tend to gravitate toward the weight of other people they are around.

What an interesting response, do you really think obesity is similar to a contagious virus or are you just grasping at straws to support your ideology?

All I'm doing is pointing out that a statement in the parent comment is false, nitpicking essentially. It's kind of what we do here. There's no need to project an entire ideology onto me. Just because I disagree with one particular falsehood on one particular side of an issue does not immediately mean I am on the "other team".

that's a valid argument, also please keep in mind that obesity kills people in decades, while covid kill people in days.

And sadly there are some people would get fired because of overweight in some fields.

My body my choice. If you infect me with your covid, it's a problem. Covid kills more people a year than obesity.

How does my body my choice not apply to the other person?
