Show the folks where being fat fits on the list of all the comorbidities that can worsen the outcome of a covid infection.
ScoobyDoo can't do this folks. They are fixated on what they call "fatties" and don't dare present any information that includes any other comorbidity, because it shows their tunnel vision.
Our findings suggest that obesity is significantly associated with increased severity and higher mortality among COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the inclusion of obesity or its surrogate body mass index in prognostic scores and improvement of guidelines for patient care management is recommended.
Being overweight increases the risk of COVID-19-related hospitalisations but not death, while obesity and extreme obesity increase the risk of both COVID-19-related hospitalisations and death. These findings suggest that prompt access to COVID-19 care, prioritisation for COVID-19 vaccination and other preventive measures are warranted for this vulnerable group. (Because they are too woke to say the fatsos should lose weight and leave the vulnerable group)
At a BMI of more than 23 kg/m2, we found a linear increase in risk of severe COVID-19 leading to admission to hospital and death, and a linear increase in admission to an ICU across the whole BMI range, which is not attributable to excess risks of related diseases. The relative risk due to increasing BMI is particularly notable people younger than 40 years and of Black ethnicity.
Obesity was independently linked to prolonged hospital length of stay in COVID-19 without any comorbidity. Larger prospective trials are required to assess the role of obesity in COVID-19 related deaths.
He's entitled to his opinions, but where's the science folks? What studies does he have to back up those opinions up?
Don't forget that doctors used to encourage people to smoke long after the studies started to show the harm.

Kind of like you encouraging fit people to get a covid vaccine long after studies have shown that it’s basically fat people that die of covid.

Yep. It's a comorbidity alright.
Claiming it's the only one is dumb.
