for COVID-19 infection and severe complications from the disease, this is giving some experts reason for pause.
It's not entirely clear to experts why vaccines don't seem to work as well in obese patients, but there are a number of theories. According to Dr. Leonard Friedland, the vice president and director of Scientific Affairs and Public Health for GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines,"Obesity triggers a chronic inflammatory state in humans." This constant, low-level inflammation could be what's blocking some vaccines from working as well as they do in thinner patients.
American won't love that 😂
Have you seen the average Trump supporter? They might want to rethink not wearing a mask!

understand coronavirus vaccine and the three vaccine candidates now. Coronavirus Vaccines Candidates works only under these conditions.
Breaking News: America is fat!
Yeah,there's not to many obese whites, but they have more beer belly's that hang over their belt buckles!
This shouldn’t be the focus, even if the theory that a Covid-19 vaccine could be less effective on obese people, turns out to be true. Right now, The US accounts for almost 25% of Covid-19 cases globally. That’s the real tragedy here.
Duh
Darwin’s rule
Stop with the “all roads lead to Covid” already. So played.
vaccine will only be 50% effective. if ur high risk stay home but the rest of us life must go on
Diet and exercise is the best medicine. The media should be talking more about it. We’re too fat and too slovenly as a nation.
Jenny Craig here I come!
It’s all because of high fructose corn syrup! Food companies put it in EVERYTHING! Why do we need it added to bread 🥖 or hotdogs. Why do we need it added to our foods?
Don’t be fat, then. MOST fat people, are fat, by choice. Choose healthy life choices and get the vaccine, if that’s what you want.
Hcq zpack and zinc within 2 days for 5 days! Done!
Well you guys don’t like religion, so you must like Darwin... So..... Take your vitamins and do your pushups and you’ll be OK
One out of three Americans is bigger than the other two. Obesity is the real epidemic in this country. People dont need masks, they need muzzles!
lol yeah no shit. Y'all are finally covering this?
CDC has become breeding ground for bullshit Lies...and false statements
Better start working out then. There’s enough time to slim down.
You would think they would give the vaccine into someone’s arm not thigh
This is such b.s. The article says obese people were twice as likely to get the flu after a vaccine, but if you look at the study it’s from 5% to 10%. You’re making obese people think they’re not going to be protected at all when in reality they’re protected 90%.
My fat ass better stay home. 😂
The drug, called DRACO (for double-stranded RNA activated caspase oligomerizers), has already been effective in killing viruses. The WHO refuses to fund research for an already effective virus remedy.
Maybe I jog in my mask for them too
That's what my visiting Aussie friends said some years back. They were also aghast at the large serving sizes in restaurants.
I don't believe its 1in3 I definitely never see that proportion anywhere. Even Mc DS lol.

Perhaps the media over past 5 months should have been giving daily healthy recipes
