Let's talk about obesity for a second because this is a New York Post headline just recently,

quoting a study.

It says most adults expected to be overweight or obese by 2050.

And it says in this article, overweight and obese people under 25 increased from

198 million to 493 million between 1990 and 2021.

This is worldwide.

That number is forecasted to reach 746 million by 2050.

The study noted that we're gaining weight faster than previous generations and obesity is occurring earlier.

So this is the actual study here from the Lancet and it's a global forecast.

And they looked at a 1990 to 2021, so a relatively short window.

Then, of course, forecasting to 2050. And the idea of that, we know that obesity, you know,

there's an increased rate of diabetes, there's an increased rate of heart disease. But let's talk

about the immune system, direct specific immediate effects on the immune system.

There is science.

This is one out of the proceedings of a nutritional society, and it's titled,

The Impact of Obesity on the Immune Response to Infection.

And it says strong epidemiological evidence highlighting an association between obesity and infection

is accumulating, and there are rodent models offering

insight into potential mechanisms. An additional yet key consideration is how to best,

how it's best to prevent and manage infections in this at-risk population. Antimicrobial

drugs and vaccines may not function as intended in obese individuals. So science is finding this out on the back end.

How many people are we vaccinating that these shots are not working as intended or giving
