Reply to comment by I_am_Enos in Regular physical activity may boost effectiveness of COVID-19 jab.

Conversely, people who are generally healthier, exercise more.

That's a painful notion. I'm just glad it does not work that way as I cannot stay healthy without exercise.

It might have just meant abstaining from exertion for some days after vaccination. That's speculation though.

If they really wanted to do something, they could have created three arms and had people exercise for different levels (and maybe throw in a non-exercising group). Until then, healthy user bias rears its ugly head.
