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:
ScoobyDoo likes it simple folks. 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 she's right that it's better to be healthy the statement that "If there weren’t so many fat people, covid wouldn’t even be a thing" is pretty dumb.

Sounds like you have too much invested in excusing obesity…
fat people are 391% more likely to die of covid and that’s not even mentioning the other stuff they die of.
ScoobyDoo's favourite link folks.
She likes to present it as meaning only fat people have to worry about covid.
She likes it simple.
Correct, fat people have a lot of health problems to worry about.
We agree on that.
