How many orders of magnitude? Can you quantify that for us? While I recommend that everyone eligible protect themselves by getting vaccinated, I don't think the current data supports the strength of your claim. Exaggerations and hyperbole aren't helpful.

Peak protection From hospitalization and death reaches over 90%.

I’m not too familiar with the added risk from being over weight, but as I understand it, it is no where near that big of a step change.

So that would be one order of magnitude, not orders (plural). We need to be precise in our communications.
