Body Mass Index and Risk for COVID-19–Related Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit Admission, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, and Death — United States, March–December 2020

@Cryptotis @ChadPergram ****Not a pandemic but still a serious disease to be avoided if your morbidly obese. There, I corrected it for you…https://t.co/hlXif4H880

@HHSGov So you’ll touch on morbid obesity as well since that’s the population dying from COVID? https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@Drstevenhobbs @WriterRomana @kylenabecker @HHSGov It is true 🤡. I’m not morbidly obese, and me getting this experimental vaxx wont help those who are dying. https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@karlamoPA @drsimonegold Over 78% of those hospitalized and dying are morbidly obese and over the age of 65. My step mom had 2 strokes from that jab and is no longer allowed to get them. My 58 yr old healthy neighbor ended up with myocarditis and now nee

@LoewyLawFirm @esaagar One of many risk factors, but not as much as you might think given how it’s been used as a distractor by the professional Covid minimizers. Relative risk 1.08-1.61 depending on how far BMI>30. For perspective, RR from being unvacc
