It's a fact that Obesity is not contagious. It is also a fact that there are laws that prevent people from losing employment due to obesity.

This is a pandemic. It's a national health emergency. I don't know if the tweet in the OP is factually correct but I don't disagree with the idea.

There is no excuse for people to not be vaccinated when they have access to one for free.
