So he knew allll about nutrition and was still overweight?

Think you answered your own question. We all know about nutrition, and some are still overweight, perhaps because of other medical issues, perhaps not - but clearly that's not the answer to why a million died of covid. Your example makes the opposite of your point: Even a guy who was an expert in nutrition was overweight. So let's think about this new question - are people all over social media telling others that they should focus on nutrition when they talk about cancer and other diseases, disorders, and viruses that are less of a threat if you eat well and exercise? Or just with covid because the politicians' first line of defense -- to claim it was exaggerated or hoax -- stopped working when police officers, teachers, parents, and hundreds of thousands of loved ones died? The "well, people should practice nutrition!"/blame the victim argument is like #7 in this line and doesn't take away from the fact that hundreds of thousands have died from this virus regardless of what they ate. A vaccine (whether everyone will choose to take it or not) will help in the battle against it. Here's another question for you - when people supposedly have a side effect from the vaccine, do you or people who agree with you ever question the sufferer's diet and exercise and whether that contributed to the side effects? I dont't think I've ever seen that. Does the cynicism suddenly disappear when you hear claims against the vaccine? Why would you not ask for that other information and only ask about covid? So, it's pretty clear that we've always been educated about how diet and exercise help us fight many illnesses - I heard it in school, in gym class, in health class, on tv, in magazines, during every health and diet craze (there's always at least one), so you might consider why you're focusing on it now. I guess maybe when the propagandists floated it, it did well on social media, as "blame overweight people" often does in various situations. But feel free to answer my questions - 1) When someone has cancer or another deadly condition, do you post on social media that doctors should talk more about diet and exercise? 2) Do you question diet and exercise when someone talks about possible adverse effects from the vax? Maybe sit with it for a few days, no matter what answer you give to me. Because it's really not about me any more. It's about this doctor who's worked for years, long days, with patients suffering --and wants things to improve. It's about the police who had to respond during the pandemic when others were home, and passed away, despite their nutrition and good health and strenuous job. It's about not repeating what we hear on TV. It's about not repeating a spin that came after "Covid's exaggerated, it's just like flu" failed. Think about your neighbors, not me. None of us grew up in America just to give in to slogans like "Why doesn't anyone talk about diet and exercise" during this pandemic when it's talked about all the time, as well as the oft-mentioned ideal body image. The propagandists are hoping you'll believe them, instead of your own eyes.
