@X2Brand @waggie54 @AnaCabrera Sure ignore science that doesn't fit your paradigm! https://t.co/6SBUDlHCC2

There was a study just finished That seems to indicate coronavirus actually attacks fat cells So the risk factor for people that are sovereign from obesity is even higher Please get your booster shot pretty please with sugar on top https://t.co/GLJTja5jFR

@Katia0288 @Gregory34450814 @News12LI Higher BMI directly correlates with increased severity in illness. https://t.co/q0ev6sBQps

@nethpat16 @koritiche @thenightbreak @SomeHart https://t.co/2JELkrbwph CDC is actually dead on. Pun intended. What are you even on about? That the Aaron Rodgers of the world etc have a higher chance of dying than a morbidly obese vaccinated individual?

@nytimes https://t.co/j40na5vwzF The CDC has been saying this for awhile. The higher your BMI, so goes up your chance of going on a ventilator

@DustinDuBrule @NBCNews This information has been around for awhile. Here is 1 source from 9 months ago that says the same basic thing. https://t.co/6SBUDlHCC2

Obesity the primary factor with covid.

78% of those hospitalized with covid were either overweight or obese. https://t.co/vpiIikECQb

@draco9384 @MellyLovesBees @mtgreenee Of course, for most people the nominal increase in risk due to obesity is less than or on par with the increase from being too thin, and it’s not a huge difference: https://t.co/Aa21ZXBnBp

@VIP3R187 @RepThomasMassie "Overweight and obesity were risk factors for invasive mechanical ventilation. Obesity was a risk factor for hospitalization and death, particularly among adults aged <65 years." Unhealthy is kind of a lay term. Risk factors
