Read ScoobyDoo's post history folks: https://omegacanada.win/u/DoggyDawg/. They're obsessed with "fatties". They have a link that says it's better not to be overweight if you get covid and that's all they want to know.
They don't care what the other comorbidities might be, or what the major ones are.
Imagine being such a weak-willed glutton that instead of controlling your own appetite and losing some weight you go full fascist and seek to impose vaxx mandates on everyone else, hoping to avoid the consequences of your poor life choices. And now that the link between your obesity and high covid risk has been conclusively established, you try to argue that everyone's fat so it doesn't matter.
They don't care what the other comorbidities might be, or what the major ones are.
You’re right. Other comorbidies that increase risk of covid death include things like type 2 diabetes, chronic liver disease, and cancer, all of which obesity plays a large part in the development of these conditions.
If there weren’t so many fat people, covid wouldn’t even be a thing.
Why is it dumb? because the list of comorbidities that raise the risk from the covid virus is a lot bigger than "type 2 diabetes, chronic liver disease, and cancer".
I don't expect ScoobyDoo to educate herself - she has too much invested in her narrative now. But if you folks are interested in seeing what else is on the list you can check out these sites:
I like how jigglypuff is so defensive about his fatness that he has the same stock response ready to copy and paste, whenever someone confronts him with the hard truth that being obese is a covid comorbidity and a key predictor of death or serious complications. https://youtu.be/o4I_4i0_LeU?t=43
Kinder12 seems to be one of those people who like to keep it simple. Here's a by-no-means-complete list of other things that can give you or your loved ones an extra-hard time when they catch covid: asthma, cancer, cerebral palsy, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, diabetes, emphysema, epilepsy, high blood pressure, kidney disease, motor neurone disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), neurofibromatosis, parkinson's disease, pneumonia, sleep apnea, ...
Then there are the people taking immunosuppressive medications after organ transplants or for conditions such as addison disease, matomyositis, graves disease, hashimoto thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, arthritis, lupus, and others.
"78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight or obese" https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/08/covid-cdc-study-finds-roughly-78percent-of-people-hospitalized-were-overweight-or-obese.html
About 80% of the US population is overweight or obese https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity
So the percentage of overweight/obese people in the US population and in the hospital with covid is about the same, (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/08/covid-cdc-study-finds-roughly-78percent-of-people-hospitalized-were-overweight-or-obese.html / https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/overweight-obesity) so while it's better to be healthy (which is what her link says) the statement that "it’s basically fat people that die of covid" is pretty dumb.
Being overweight is on some lists of covid comorbidities, but it's not near the top. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-who-is-at-risk/art-20483301 / https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/people-high-risk-for-severe-illness-covid-19.html
But no doubt she'll refuse to look at anything else. Like she says: she doesn't need it. She has what she wants to hear.
Fat people are 391% more likely to die from covid

It sucks being a fat boomer eh Covid Nazi.
Get boosted. The sniffles can kill you. Follow your Politifact fact checkers and your Reddit experts!
V&C1 exercizing her name-calling skills again folks.
She's really good at it, eh?

What a tuchidiot!
Ah! Scooby Doo has a disciple folks. They're home in her Mom's basement making up their "Only Fatties are at risk from Covid" posters.
You’re right. Other comorbidies that increase risk of covid death include things like type 2 diabetes, chronic liver disease, and cancer, all of which obesity plays a large part in the development of these conditions.
If there weren’t so many fat people, covid wouldn’t even be a thing.
ScoobyDoo likes it simple folks.

Agreed. Emphasis on "a".
Nope. Just one of many. And if you took the time to read the links I provided you would see that.
