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.
This is anecdotal, but this 8th grader is not overweight. https://www.mississippifreepress.org...s-child-cases/

And we get it, you don't like fat people....
