But even simpler is context. Take your 87% overweight / obese statistics accounts for 87% of Covid deaths. But what wasn't said is :
According to statistics, over 70% of Americans adults are either overweight or obese. Thus the rate of Covid deaths would be 70% were overweight people even without a correlation to weight.
In the world of statistics one should bear in mind the old adage "Figures don’t lie, but liars figure".

Per the CDC, the odds of being hospitalized with Covid are tripled if you are obese.
