We would still have to prove causation, and then come up with a way to promote it, how much resistance that would face, and the chances of weight loss success vs just getting an inoculation. Additionally, we would need to look at incubation time and transmissibility before I could get on board.
I think it's an interesting idea, and you should pursue further research. Let us know when you have some reliable data.

Data posted from CDC in my last post.
300,000 deaths a year could be prevented by abolishing obesity alone un related to covid, then factoring in the profound benefit to helping reduce covid cases, reduce covid mortalities, and improving outlook on top of that.
Same goes for smokers.
Far greater bang for buck to end obesity and/or smoking than a vaccine. Even if vaccine had 100% success rate which it doesn't. All things equated its probably closer to 40-60% success. Mandate a vaccine, ok fine. Then mandate ending obesity and smoking too, if you really care about peoples health and well being, the cost and burden on the medical system etc... then you would have no problem with mandates that helped end smoking and obesity.
