>And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.

Without absolute numbers, your "analysis" is meaningless. We're talking about seven deaths amongst teens.

>The study noted that about three-fourths of the teenagers in the study had other medical conditions, such as obesity

Not being fat is an excellent way to avoid having a bad time with Covid. Shame that the official advice caused many people to spend the last two years sitting on the couch, eating pizza.

It is undeniable that the vaccine kept the most vulnerable out of the ICU. It is also very true that healthy people under about 45 were at minimal risk from Covid.

It is not my analysis. Every damn research paper shows that the unvaccinated are hospitalized and dying at rates many multiples higher than the vaccinated.

As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable, if the goal is to reduce hospitalization and death, that is going to be infinitely easier to accomplish through vaccination than by trying to convince the country to get fit.

If you're at risk of a bad time with Covid, get vaccinated. Simples.

>As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable

Simple cause and effect. The study you linked said so - if you're obese, you're much more likely to go to the ICU with Covid. It is strange that all of the public messaging designed to "keep us safe" did not include any component to look after our bodies, which would have significant benefits when it comes to fighting disease.
