It's not just weight. Mind you this is in the UK but they have universal healthcare. Much of the same applies here and in larger numbers with less access to doctors and specialists.

For people of low socio-economic status (SES), a number of factors increase their exposure to COVID-19. First, economically disadvantaged people are more likely to live in overcrowded accommodation—7% of people from the poorest 20% of UK households live in overcrowded housing, a risk factor for lower respiratory tract infections.1 , 2 Poor housing conditions, limited access to personal outdoor space and overcrowding will reduce compliance with social distancing. Second, financially poorer people are often employed in occupations that do not provide opportunities to work from home.3 This includes but is not limited to supermarket and warehouse workers, those in certain forms of public transport and bus drivers, whose tragic deaths we have already witnessed.
Third, those in low SES groups are more likely to have unstable work conditions and incomes, conditions exacerbated by the responses to COVID-19 and its aftermath.4 Such financial uncertainty disproportionately harms the mental health of those in low SES groups and exacerbates their stress.5 Heightened stress is known to weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to a range of diseases and the likelihood of health risk behaviours.5 , 6 Therefore, poverty may not only increase one's exposure to the virus, but also reduce the immune system's ability to combat it.
Fourth, people of low SES present to healthcare services at a more advanced stage of illness, resulting in poorer health outcomes.7 This will likely lead to poorer health outcomes from COVID-19 for economically disadvantaged people. Fifth, access to health care is also determined by a person's ability to use health services ʻwith ease, and having confidence that you will be treated with respectʼ.8 This can be hindered by language barriers, patients' attitudes towards healthcare providers and the behaviour and attitudes of healthcare professionals towards minority patients.8 Health care does not exist in isolation, so discrimination in wider society influences healthcare professionals' practice and patients' expectations, such as the anticipation of being dismissed, ridiculed or humiliated, which may deter minority groups from accessing health care. These factors may also reduce access to health care for COVID-19 for patients of low SES.
All of this I agree with, but what do you propose as a possible solution?

So about 78% of the cases so far of the omicron variant are from vaccinated people. Roughly the same percentage of the population that is vaccinated or roughly that

At what point do we need to give up on this "the vaccine will protect you from getting Covid nonsense" and "it will stop the spread" when 50% of a team is getting a *breakthrough case* then they aren't really break through cases anymore. At this point of all the tools, we have to *stop the spread* Vaccination seems like the least effective.
Why can't we just say what the vaccines do? Which is dramatically reduces the severity of Covid's side effects.
I mean, it's weird to see Fauci go on TV and complain about Covid misinformation and then talk about how getting the vaccine will protect you from contracting Covid.
Not a lot we can do about genetic obesity. Some obesity is due to inactivity. Some is due to poor eating habits. Perhaps some more education will get people working out more and eating better?Quote:

Because, perhaps not including Omicron, the vaccine does reduce your chances of contracting COVID. I don't know how many times this needs to be said.Quote:

A neighbor of mine who is an epidemiologist basically said that the virus is outthinking itself in it's efforts to become more contagious for survival, and in turn is becoming much less lethal.
How much of the country do you think is genetically obese?Quote:
