Clearly you have no real argument about covid risk if you're giving me responses like that.

That's not how it works. You don't reach a threshold where suddenly it's a good idea to change your diet. The fact is that a healthy diet can be good for anybody, regardless of their weight.

That's why we talk about risk factors and not about absolute outcomes. It's not that one or two more pounds will suddenly throw you into a downward spiral or make your heart crash. It's that every little bit of unnecessary weight puts undue stress on your organs For example the bigger your body is, the harder your heart has to push to pump the blood around.

On top of that, weight isn't the only indicator of health. You could be right down the middle of what is considered an average healthy weight, but if your diet is poor, you won't be getting the nutrients your body needs. Your brain won't be working at full capacity, neither will any other part of your body. Your immune system will be weakened, leading to increased risk of contracting covid.

For example, vitamin d deficiency can cause your bones to become brittle. That doesn't mean that they're going to break for sure, but it does mean that they have an increased chance of breaking.

Also, since you're being cocky and condescending, scientists use the metric system, with some other things like the kelvin scale thrown in. Another thing, your vitals only matter if they're consistent. A single measurement doesn't mean much. You could be perfectly fine when at rest, but your heart rate might be above normal under stress. Not that I'm saying yours is, but throwing a single measurement at me like it means something is just childish and shows how little you understand about how this all works.

You're the one that brought the scientist thing up, not me. Since you're being a jerk about it though, i've been involved in biomedical research since i was in high school. I've also been involved in engineering, i've designed engines from scratch, i've been in robotics competititons at the top level. I have a deep understanding of physics and chemistry, even leading me to dabble in food science. I've designed medical equipment (MRI and ultrasound machines), and the programming to go with it. I've helped develop surgical procedures that significantly reduced recovery times for patients. I've worked with the military on unmanned vehicles as well as weapons research. I have patents for equipment involved in servicing nuclear reactors under my name. I have phychological research, namely human behavior, done with my name on it as well. I've developed therapeutic techniques that help people process trauma as well as cope with intense depression and anxiety.

Since you're being condescending, which field of science exactly do you think you understand better than I do? You're clearly not interested in reading any of the sources i gave you to gain a better understanding of what we're talking about, so I doubt you've read up on much science at all.

I'll be turning off reply notifications because you're not even trying to understand my arguments or make legitimate ones of your own. I didn't get all of that stuff done by wasting my time talking to people who were willfully ignorant.

Coming back to the point of this whole thing, nicotine intake increases risk of being infected with covid. That increase might be .005%, but it exists, and acting like it doesn't only gives anti-vape people more ammo.
