Something about 78% covid hospitalizations in America were also obese?

Seems pretty logical. On one hand, you've got a virus that over a year has been shown to be, overwhelmingly, only primarily deadly to the extreme elderly or health compromised individual...not many others...on the other hand you've got an experimental treatment with barely any testing created by companies with extremely shady histories that are totally exempt globally from liability over damages.
Which do you think is likely to cause more longterm harm and damage?

Yes if someone in a nursing home gets Covid they should be either quarantined or removed immediately.
In Pennsylvania if you have COVID they put you in the nursing home unit for COVID to keep the other hospitals operational. Around here they put residents in a different wing and consolidated them and clear floors for the 5 people that show up with the sniffles. Older folks in my neck of the woods are not happy.

Number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered worldwide as of March 14, 2021, by country - Statista
Seems like more than 9 million in Israel. Israel is also using the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine.
The US government is tracking any issues with vaccines. As the USA has more doses of COVID-19 vaccines delivered than any other country, its data is likely to be the most representative of any issues: Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) Data - HHS.govt

VAERS is good but it is not the end all be all, it is based on voluntary reports. If some entity or company doesn't report an "adverse event" it's not in here as well as reports aren't verified. Below is data DIRECT from VAERS today. Totals could be less or a lot more.
Considering the political and financial implications it's likely more. I'm in no way saying people should or shouldn't take the vaccine, but tell people 1174 people may have died from the vaccine and then let them choose.
I'd ask Marvin and Hank if they would take the vaccine again? oops, you can't cause they are dead after taking the vaccine.
Both Aaron and Hagler were in relatively good health for their age. This needs to be discussed and the media is leaving out details either on purpose or from governmental pressure.
SEE TODAYS CHART BELOW.
1174 DEATHS 805 CASES of full-blown COVID
VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to VAERS. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.
The strengths of VAERS are that it is national in scope and can quickly provide an early warning of a safety problem with a vaccine. As part of CDC and FDA's multi-system approach to post-licensure vaccine safety monitoring, VAERS is designed to rapidly detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events, also known as "safety signals." If a safety signal is found in VAERS, further studies can be done in safety systems such as the CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) or the Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment (CISA) project. These systems do not have the same limitations as VAERS, and can better assess health risks and possible connections between adverse events and a vaccine.
Key considerations and limitations of VAERS data:
Vaccine providers are encouraged to report any clinically significant health problem following vaccination to VAERS, whether or not they believe the vaccine was the cause.
Reports may include incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental and unverified information.
The number of reports alone cannot be interpreted or used to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, frequency, or rates of problems associated with vaccines.
VAERS data are limited to vaccine adverse event reports received between 1990 and the most recent date for which data are available.
VAERS data do not represent all known safety information for a vaccine and should be interpreted in the context of other scientific information.

Why are they using the VAERS database to analyse Israeli deaths? # data in = # data out.
VAERS is US data. The US has a population over roughly 40x Israel so including that data is obviously going to provide a false positive reading 40x greater than the actual reading.

This is information people need to be told as well when taking. The first shot is 85% effective and most of the negative reactions are from the 2nd, is 2nd jab worth it?

The VAERS numbers should be told, along with the fact that a third of the deaths happen within 24 hours. Reddit has enough users you can get a decent feel for whats going on if you know where to look.

People are speculating this Israeli death spike is due to a compromised immunity the week after the first shot, maybe taking ivermectin would be a safety precaution worth doing. Of course it would be nice if they acknowledged it and investigated to know for sure..

They're probably the best source in the world on such data but the guy has used it in a deliberately misleading way to support his claims of an 'NWO vaccine holocaust'. I wasn't doubting VAERS, just rang alarm bells straight away as it introduces mass error and assumption for no reason and there's no reason for an Israeli computing student to understand the US VAERS data or how it is collated.
He uses monthly total deaths of a any cause as recorded in VAERS and compares these to daily total US Covid deaths. He also claims an incorrect figure of 3000 deaths for that period when the actual figure was 196 (including suicides, cancer. murder etc..)
He then acts suprised when his results don't match those of qualified mathematicians and medical journals and claims this is due to a global NWO euthanasia super conspiracy instead of the 100s of flaws in his methodology.
It's a fantastic example of how not to conduct a statistical analysis or what the public should look out for in bad science and why not to believe stats claims - it has a couple of percentage sums and graphs to give the impression it's sciency but there's no scienific or mathematical method used in his forum posts.

No worries, it was a good excuse to use applied maths to kill lockdown boredom.
Personally I think vaccinating people in 'end of life' or palative care makes no sense as there was no testing on frail elderly people. The data indicates ~90% of VAERS death from any cause are women over 85 - this may be due to elevated death risk in this age group, the vaccine itself or the way it is administered causing people stress or exposing them to more risk of getting Coronavirus than they would experience in the care home (personally I think the latter).
I think anyone who decides to take the vaccine should double check with their doctors and any specialists thet see, especially if they have any health conditions or are on medication. In the UK specialists ruling out any all interactions before it is available to people with those conditions - I don't think other countries are doing that or ruling out all possibilty the person may have Coronavirus before giving the injection.
It's annecdotal but every pregnant or breastfeeding woman I know had been advised by their GP not to have the vaccine. It's been deemed safe by OBGYN and MRHA plus mRNA should be far safer as it can't enter the womb or affect a developing foetus. The UK GOV advise is always check with Dr or specialist before getting the vaccine.
It appears the US, EU, Israel aren't being as cautious but the UK MRHA is one of the strictest in the world and only granted vaccine manufacturers a temporary licence, banned them from marketing and imposed strict conditions on the manufacturers that if broken result in an automatic ban from selling this and any other medicines in the UK. By law all vaccine centres must have epi pens to deal with any anaphalactic shock.
When I had mine nurses and Drs chose the AZ vaccine as I had a very bad allergic reaction to epillepsy medication last year and the AZ vaccine had been recommended by neuro, gp, epi nurse and consultant as their data shows it is the safest on the market
We have a Yellow Card system that acts like VAERS here: Yellow Card
The review of AstraZenica is here - AZ Side effects - PDF format buy from .gov site
It's far more detailed than VAERS as its aimed at medical profesionals and gives a breakdown of every reaction type and adverse event 28 days after vaccination.
AZ is causing fewer side-efects like sore arm and rapid heartbeat or blood clotting in the UK - other countries have suspended it over blood clot fears the cause could be political or differences in how the vaccine is administered. At the moment there simply isn't the data.
Up to and including 7 March 2021, the MHRA received and analysed 35,325 UK Yellow Cards from people who have received the COVID-19 mRNA Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. These reports include a total of 100,810 suspected reactions (i.e. a single report may contain more than one symptom). The first report was received on 9 December 2020.
