No they are dying because they are mostly obese. Maybe if you wanted to lower the death rate you'd be advocating for a skinny passport, where you have to loose weight before you can go outside LOL, it would have a better effect on the covid death rate than a vax.

That's a stupid deflection. You can be obese and still live without covid. A terrible lifestyle, but catching a virus only makes it worse.

I can advocate for both losing weight and being vaccinated.

You're saying their death rate is higher because they are 5% less vaccinated than Whites, when in reality their covid death rate is higher because they are much more likely to be obese.

Yeah and you can advocate for jumping off a cliff, no one is stopping you.

Being unvaccinated while obese puts you at higher risk. One does not beget the other.

Being vaccinated and obese puts you at higher risk than someone who is unvaccinated and not obese. Keep coping.

Not for contracting Covid disease. Which is what the entire world is fighting to stop right now.

Again with your bullshit about not catching covid if you're vaccinated, you just can't give up that lie.

Obese people are only a threat to themselves, and that's only if their bad lifestyle catches up with them.

The unvax are mutation factories, who act as a threat to everyone because transmission rates are higher.

A recent study found that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant are 63 per cent less likely to infect people who are unvaccinated. This is only slightly lower than with the alpha variant, says Brechje de Gier at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands, who led the study. Her team had previously found that vaccinated people infected with alpha were 73 per cent less likely to infect unvaccinated people. What is important to realise, de Gier says, is that the full effect of vaccines on reducing transmission is even higher than 63 per cent, because most vaccinated people don’t become infected in the first place.

No it's the vaxxed who are mutation factories, who is patient zero of the omicron variant? Someone who was double vaxed, so again you're a liar and you're going to keep lying because your whole world view on covid is a lie and you can't let it go.

False

The variant was first identified in South Africa's Gauteng province, a region with among the three lowest vaccination rates in the country at just 32% of the adult population.In a population with a low vaccination rate, there will be more infected - and sicker - people around, creating more opportunities for the virus to mutate. But potentially harmful mutations can take hold as the virus attempts to get round the immune defences of vaccinated or previously infected people. So a population with some immunity, but not enough to stamp out the virus, and where the virus widely present, is a good environment for new mutations to develop. Another factor is those who already have suppressed immune systems - as a consequence of the HIV virus for example - and who might have longer and more severe symptoms if infected with Covid. This would give the coronavirus more opportunity to mutate within a sick individual. Untreated HIV infection is a major problem in the southern African region where the Omicron variant was first identified.

So low vaccination and untreated HIV cases. It was a biological cocktail just waiting to explode.
