It speaks volumes that the first thing they did was close sports clubs while locking us up at home so food delivery companies could flourish. This is scandalous, especially as obesity is associated with a much higher risk of hospitalisation (https://t.co/r

@svensrevenge @TimRunsHisMouth Then you just don't understand what COVID is. Most non-elderly who died FROM COVID-19, were obese. Yet instead of encouraging people to get healthy, the government shut down gyms and parks and encouraged everyone to stay insi

@cafreeland You’re not the population that’s being hospitalized/dying from COVID. This is 100% propaganda that’s NOT based on science 🤡…https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@Georgehn1 @RPur122 In what population? Over 78% of those hospitalized/dying are morbidly obese. A shot isn’t going to help that population…😑 https://t.co/hlXif4H880

@PeterGr63196428 @FiveTimesAugust @Timcast https://t.co/ZN4iSdQnc8

@KevinUltracast @Vaxxish @ACTBrigitte latest data i can find for USA CDC reporting is ~78% were at least overweight, 27% of that being in the "overweight" category keep in mind that this does only go by BMI so take that for what you will, and is reporting

I'm still convinced that exercise and maintaining a healthy BMI do more to prevent covid deaths than the death jab. Problem is, this stance has been labeled as "fat shaming". https://t.co/mQHsBnAUGP

@DianaTa83090985 @DHartung13 @_ashawndabney Was he morbidly obese with co-morbidities? https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@DHartung13 @_ashawndabney Are you morbidly obese? Because that’s who science says is being hospitalized and dying from COVID WITH or WITHOUT the vaxx. https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@HibiscusInsular @AliNouriPhD @DrEricDing And unless you’re morbidly obese? You’ll be just fine. That’s who’s being hospitalized and dying from COVID. https://t.co/hlXif4HFXy

@WaskoDr @CaulfieldTim @FullFact @snopes By being a doctor that goes by actual science is where you could start. Over 78% are MORBIDLY obese, and over the age of 65. Chronic inflammation kills, but you know this already. You’re just a big Pharma pusher.

@HonorUkb @DanielGriffinMD Even being overweight puts you at higher risk for ventilation, being obese (which is a much lower threshold than many people think) heightens your risk of death. https://t.co/ZP2Ju9Ti2m

@mattshanahan1 @Justbaseball25 @VincentRK You realize that of those 400 that are dying according to the CDC 94% have comorbidities and overall 78% have been obese? Those 400 deaths are deaths with COVID btw. https://t.co/0JQ9q65Hrs

@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

@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
