So you're saying that only a majority of the people can have severe COVID symptoms? In America, I expect more than half the people fall into those 3 categories you mentioned. I'm not saying you're overall point is wrong, only that I find this particular point that "only the majority will be effected" not especially compelling.
- Zababa 5y agoIf the majority of the american population is either obese, vitamin D deficient or immunocompromised, COVID is not the problem here.

Obesity also causes VDD (apart from bad diets, environment, lifestyles) so there’s overlap. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21310306/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21310306/
