Ethical dilemma: You’re overweight because you didn’t pay that much attention to your health. Should you get priority for a vaccine vs others that aren’t overweight? Not an easy question to answer. It echoes the college debt forgiveness discussion. But more difficult.

I’m leaning towards that answer too

Measuring in any reasonably fair way would also be impossible. How overweight do you need to be to get DQ'd? BMI is highly flawed metric. Body fat %? How do you enforce? How much of the vaccine would go bad while you tried to figure it out? Age is the obvious metric to go by

agree 100%. say nothing of the fact the "life choices" argument isn't totally clear for obesity. i'm a thin guy, i don't think i could gain 20 pounds if i tried, so i can imagine the difficulty going the other direction if metabolism and genetics are working against you.
