Let's not forget the importance of promoting GOOD HEALTH for this and everything else that is thrown at us!!!!

He's a good doctor. We rarely read or hear about strengthening the immune system through exercise and eating properly. Avoiding obesity. Instead, they tell us all to lay down on the railroad track for the good of everyone and for all to take the vaccination and lifetime of boosters. If that is the case what do we need an immune system for?
Then why are Israeli's getting sick again. The IDF is not known to have obesity as a issue among their ranks. They do exercise pretty much daily and their food intake is more on the vegetarian side rather than the meat(s) side. Yet the IDF had update their guidelines again.

But everyone gets sick at one time or another. The question should be why their immune systems are able to fight off disease without hospitalization. They are already healthy and physically fit. The previous link you provided was about children and a correlation between obesity and hospitalization due to their being a higher risk.
- The research here and table may be a little T.M.I. but it does break down why obesity, even being overweight makes one more prone to hospitalization should they catch the virus. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8073853/
A large number of patients severely ill with COVID-19 arriving at the ICU are overweight or suffer from obesity [3]. These conditions, as well as smoking, age, type II diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, appear to be major risk factors for serious complications and increased mortality in COVID-19 patients [4,5,6].
Understanding the contributing factors to COVID-19 disease severity and complications in the context of obesity is of key importance for the development of therapeutic interventions, as well as for advancing preventative strategies in this high-risk group...
