"Obviously this is an offer I should not refuse, no one should say no when offered a vaccine. But I am a little confused and do not understand why I am offered to get vaccinated now that there are many more risk groups who have not been vaccinated yet," Thorpe tweeted on his Twitter account. .
The next day he decided to check the issue with his family doctor, he called the clinic and then it turned out the amusing mistake that started the chain of events.
Thorpe's medical record states that he is 6.2 cm tall instead of writing the same figure using the measurement method used in the UK that uses feet (feet) and inches. Thorpe's actual height is 187 cm (which is 6 feet and 2 inches).
Weighting the wrong height with its (correct) weight led to a ridiculous BMI score in height, which put Thorpe in the covid-19 risk group and significantly promoted him in line for vaccines.
Britain has not yet finished vaccinating the risk groups of the elderly and those with background illnesses.

"I was a little obese in quarantine, but not so much ... When I told my mom I was diagnosed with clinical obesity she said, 'Maybe this is a wake-up call for you,'" Thorpe continued to tweet with humor following the confusion.
Twitter followers were also amused by this mistake comedy, some suggested Thorpe still try his luck, get to the vaccination station crawling or standing hunched over to look like someone 6 inches tall, others wondered why no one had contacted him earlier to ask for the man's safety The fattest and lowest floor in the kingdom.
Thorpe eventually updated that he had given up the vaccine because he thought the right thing to do was to wait his turn patiently.
But that he was very glad of the opportunity which arose in part to amuse himself a little with this story.
