Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered?

I'll admit that I don't know how much correlation there is, but, the I wouldnt anticipate the overall health of vaxxed vs unvaxxed is that markedly different, certainly not enough to make up for the percentage difference in hospitalizations among vaxxed vs unvaxxed. I think a lot of the differences in hospitalizations and mortality can be clearly attributed solely to vaccination status.

There has been a lot of research around weight and COVID. Even among the vaccinated, I believe that their is a difference in efficacy based on those who are healthy and those who are overweight and those that have underlying issues (because some treat them independently).

Agreed, the numbers say an obese person who is vaxxed is far less likely to be hospitalized or die from covid than an
obese person who isn't vaccinated. These numbers don't lie. I just can't see how unvaxxed people are being discriminated
against.

The other numbers that don't lie is the fact that majority of the unvaccinated being hospitalized are the obese (which we know also leads to other underlying issues). There is plenty of research showing the correlation of the overweight and COVID (and truthfully, most other diseases, as many who are overweight also have weakened immune systems) and this was early into COVID.

Just making it about "the unvaccinated" disregards all other data out there detailing the specifics. For severe symptoms, COVID looks to be pretty discriminate and obesity and underlying issues seems to be the main drivers.
