Also remember all, that most people in the US is on some kind of long term treatments for their conditions, many forget that a lot of the treatments that people are on actually suppress the immune system, no a good thing when you are fighting a viral infection as viral infections do not have cures, only your immune system to protect you.

All the more reason they should get vaxed.
99.5 percent if US covid deaths are unvaxed. That includes diabetics.
Prescription Drug Use and Affordability Issues, Nearly nine in ten (89%) adults 65 and older report they are currently taking any prescription medicine. This compares to three-fourths of 50-64 year olds who report taking prescription drugs, half (51%) of 30-49 year olds, and four in ten (38%) 18-29 year olds. Older adults are also more likely than their younger counterparts to be taking multiple prescription medications. More than half of adults 65 and older (54%) report taking four or more prescription drugs compared to one-third of adults 50-64 years old (32%) and about one in ten adults 30-49 (13%) or 18-29 (7%).

So the thread claims 50 percent of covide deaths are diabetic but CDC says 99.5 percent are unvaxed.
Does that mean that out of the 99.5 percent of unvaxed who are currently dying are diabetic?

If I had diabetes I wouldn't be getting the vaccine and as sure as hell do my best to not get the virus.
Diabetes puts strain on your pancreas and kidneys, I know a guy who has one kidney and his doctor told him he cannot get the vaccine. His doctor had no explanation for him, like my doctor when I asked him about the vaccine, he only knew as much as just any other family doctor, almost nothing.

ETA: my wife has diabetes, was told by the doc to get the vax. Four months in and she feels fine. Not even a sore arm. I am sure this news is disappointing to all of you anti-vax folk who would have loved a different outcome.
Hope I didn't make you sad that my wife is healthy..

Interestingly it can be avoided with life changing regime, but some prefer to stay on medications.
My mother is a diabetic she have to take insulin she was no born with it, a doctor told her is the result of a viral infection, her pancreas is damage.
Now she developed liver cancer and can not be cure.
Diabetics can develop liver cancer also as a result.
