Trying to see what you are trying to say: The map shows that 37% of the population is vaccinated. You conclude, I believe, that the remaining 63% will be a tough call to get them vaccinated, right? Then, when you write about the % of obese people in the US and at a high risk of dying of Covid, (which I have been drumming here for a while) and that might be a risk for a person who is: Obese and refuse to take a vaccine UNO (Unvaccinated and Obese) The stats have to be from now on filtered by: BMI and vaccine status. Then point that the majority of the people dying of Covid or suffering serious complications are unvaccinated obese (UNO) and that person will have a problem with his health insurance. Simple.

The Pharma-Industrial Complex is being born. New COVID Variants Have Changed the Game, and Vaccines Will Not Be Enough scitechdaily.com There will many "threats" in the future... Dr. Fauci is the John Foster Dulles of the Pharma-Industrial Complex Do you remember Eisenhower speech? I quote him here: In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. And here is what he said could avoid this take over Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decade In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government. Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite."

How the ignorant masses are being herded to fear viruses How to make people fear to make money with Pharma: Avian flu? Everybody knows chickens Swine flu? Pigs are very well know. How about cows? Mad Cow Disease? Wait! Bats! Who have seen a bat in his whole life? Probaly next to nobody. Never mind that only 3 of the whole 1,400 species of bats suck blood. But bats will do. Here is where the Pharma is looking to keep the money spigots opened: Health systems must be better prepared against future variants. Suppression efforts should be accompanied by: genomic surveillance programs to identify and quickly characterize emerging variants in as many countries as possible around the world (Elmat: As many countries as possbile? Yes!) rapid large-scale “second-generation” vaccine programs and increased production capacity that can support equity in vaccine distribution (Elmat: Pharma nodding vigorously) studies of vaccine effectiveness on existing and new variants of concern (Elmat: this will make for some nice long term cushy jobs) adapting public health measures (such as double masking) and re-committing to health system arrangements (such as ensuring personal protective equipment for health staff) (Elmat: Mo Money ! Mo Money!) behavioral, environmental, social, and systems interventions, such as enabling ventilation, distancing between people, and an effective find, test, trace, isolate and support system. (Elmat: Health theater will continue)
