Repurposed drugs don’t work for Covid19 (again)

"A total of 1431 patients were enrolled in the trial from December 30, 2020, through January 28, 2022. ... The median BMI was 30 (IQR, 27 to 34)."

A BMI of 30 is not overweight - it's obese[0].

The CDC declares[1] that, "obesity worsens outcomes from COVID-19"; it "increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19", "may triple the risk of hospitalization due to a COVID-19 infection", and is "linked to impaired immune function".
