The vaccine isn't going to protect from heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Everybody is afraid of covid but they should be afraid of fast food
Here's something they all know but ain't spreading around...
Obesity keeps the vaccine and any vaccines from working efficiently. Obesity is already a co-morbidity. A nurse from Oregon came in my store last year and told us her story: She had lost a whopping 100 lbs because she got scared watching obese patients with covid die.

Vaccines are less effective in obese adults than in adults with a lower body mass index (BMI), according to research, a disparity that will likely affect vaccines against the novel coronavirus, as well—meaning America's obesity epidemic could hinder the country's effort to control its coronavirus epidemic, Sarah Varney writes for Kaiser Health News.

Obesity, the immune system, and vaccines
In the United States, more than 107 million adults have BMIs that classify them as obese—a condition that, according to CDC, places them at a higher risk of developing severe cases of Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, and at increased risk of dying from the disease.
According to Varney, some scientists in the field of immunometabolism believe those heightened risks stem from obesity's effects on a person's immune response. She explains that, while a healthy immune system triggers on and off inflammation as needed, the immune systems in individuals who are obese tend to maintain a constant state of mild inflammation.
