It is well known that you have higher levels of inflammation if overweight, which generally worsens your immune response.
I see I got downvoted. This is well established and not controversial at all. Lots of research supports it.

Adipose tissue is body fat.

That's a known fact. That's why the first thing doctors say to overweight people is to lose weight for pretty much any disease. Some get hurt and blame the doctors, which doesn't help them.
So, "Huge if true" is a meme based on "journalism"
