Saying that someone has a comorbidity is not a judgement. Its simply a fact. The virus is here, we know it affects people with certain conditions. If we can reduce or remove that condition then it is on us to do so. I am probably 30 pounds overweight, 20 of which I put on over the last year+ with covid. I am now working out and trying to drop those 30 pounds because in the context of the virus it just makes sense to do so. Its not a moral judgement on anyone.

It's no different than saying "It's your fault for dying by being fat during a pandemic -- so we don't need vaccines."

? That is very much a stretch. This is a pandemic, not a politically correct hug fest. We all must be responsible for our own health. If I am overweight and I get covid and I die because of that co-morbidity, then I bear at least some of that responsibility. To deny our own responsibility for our physical states where it is in our control is madness. Just like if I get covid and I am unvaccinated and get a severe case that is also my fault. This is a pandemic, not a woke celebration of not hurting each others feelings. This is not a moral judgement, some people are overweight and they are more susceptible to severe cases of covid, why not do what you can to reduce that risk?

> This is a pandemic, not a woke celebration of not hurting each others feelings

Right. That's why we need vaccines, and not an excuse for the crap your espousing to not get vaccinated.

lol, who is saying not to get vaccinated? Not me. I am boosted. But to deny that losing weight is beneficial is just silly.

obsesity is an epidemic. covid today is pandemic. while it is problematic like any diease that affects a smaller subset of the population, it lot less concerning than a pandemic. it has nothing to do with you deserve it or not.

no one is saying anyone deserves to die. 42% of americans are obese, so while it is not a majority, its not that far away either. Obesity is very much related to your odds of having a serious case of covid should you contract it. I really dont understand what you are arguing. I am saying that to reduce chances of a bad covid reaction people should attempt to reach a healthy weight. This does not in any way detract from the argument that vaccines are beneficial as well. To say it does is either disingenuous, seeks to not hurt anyone's feelings or is just plain wrong.
