If you want to get vaccinates, go for it. If it's effective, why should you care if people are unvaccinated. In other words, mind your own business and keep out of mine.

People should do their own research re: deats from obesity vs covid. But covid has become a religion so facts are becoming irrelevant. True believers are going to believe. It's now faith-based with fat nurses as priests.

Less than 400 Americans under age 18 have died from covid. And those are probably inflated numbers too.
If your position is that data from sources that don't fit your opinion are questionable or inflated then I guess you will always be correct.

The 300,000 number for yearly deaths from obesity can be found from multiple sources. The 670,000+ deaths from Covid can be found from multiple sources including JHU and CDC. The 580,000+ excess deaths in 2020 can be found on the CDC pages - they were caused by something and Covid was the biggest "something" happening last year.

Why should I care if people are unvaccinated? I have answered that several times and alluded to it in the response you quoted. Did you read it?

"Research" means significantly more than finding an article the fifth page of a Duck Duck Go search that agrees with your preconceived opinion or copying a forum post from a person who emphatically asserts that they alone are right and all the "so-called scientists" were just part of a conspiracy.

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