"Will we have a Covid vaccine next year tailored to the obese? No way," said Raz Shaikh, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
"Will it still work in the obese? Our prediction is no."

“Obesity is a serious global problem, and the suboptimal vaccine-induced immune responses observed in the obese population cannot be ignored," pleaded researchers from the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group in a 2015 study published in the journal Vaccine.”

Sounds like a great excuse to keep things shut down and continued mask mandates.

Until we flatten the curve of course.

Obesity is a choice. Choices have consequences.

I promise Things will only be restricted until we can make sure the hospitals won’t be overwhelmed.

But the positivity rate is too high right now to ease restrictions.

Hate to break it to this guy, but it won’t work on the non obese either, unless by work you mean it will manipúlate the genetics of everyone who takes it.

Being that I'm forced to wear a mask.
It's only fair we force people onto treadmills.

I'm not a hater.
I'm all for shooting for the stars.

But, to operate as if a effective, safe vaccine is certain, is insane.

Telling people it's a certainty is straight up dangerous.
