    Are you sure about this? I'm sure it happens, but I can't find anyone giving data on what the actual risk is. And virtually every time I see a story about someone "healthy" struggling with it, it turns out they are pretty overweight.

    I know it's not easy to gather data during a pandemic and it won't be great data, but it seems like they could do a better job than they are doing. If you want to convince the young and healthy to get vaccinated, it seems like the first thing you'd do is show them how risky it is to them.

    ETA: And they could also do a better job showing how dangerous it is for obese people. They've been pretty vocal about it, but clearly some overweight people have been taking false comfort in the general case fatality rates and then adjusting down based on the fact that they aren't old, but somehow not adjusting it right back up because they are overweight.
