According to the CDC, if you are obese, you are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid…
I am not ignoring any facts at all.

Read what I wrote: I did not attempt to dispute the CDC statement. My point is they could not support that statement with a survey that shows 78% of hospitalized patients are overweight or obese.

If you are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid when you are overweight or obese then the survey would show that nearly 90% of hospitalized patients are overweight or obese. That particular study did not show that. That particular study does not support the 3X assertion. The 3X assertion may be correct but other data must have been used to derive it.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
