Right

The studies showing that in the early pandemic every patient in the ICU was Vit D deficient ...are meaningless

What next...they gonna make Vit D a prescription you cant get for covid?

Another duplicitous study.

“These findings do not support the hypothesis that vitamin D plays a role in susceptibility to ... infection,” they said.

No sh!t Sherlock. Nobody ever said Vitamin D protects you from infection. It REDUCES the odds of hospitalization and death.

It is so easy to see right through all these studies to the misinformation and lies. They perform an incorrect study, then declare an incorrect conclusion. Bald face liars.

“to evaluate the association between supplementation rather than serum levels and outcome.”
Interesting.

Seen a study that compared Nitric Oxide levels to D levels and showed a high level of reduced covid infection caused by the NO levels- which were subject to the D levels.

The new age crowd isn’t going to agree with that.

Research here found that researchers can find anything they are paid to find.

And a lot of them are paid to keep churning out COVID stories to keep THE FEAR alive. I watched the Yankees' Cory Kluber pitch a no-hitter tonight in Texas against the Rangers in front of a capacity Texas crowd with only a mask or two to be seen.

By now, this thing is obviously COMPLETELY political. And I'm thinking more and more that we've been subjected to this whole pandemic and this whole election steal simply because Nancy Pelosi (who knows people who know people) got INCENSED that Donald Trump beat the ridiculous impeachment.

She called in ALL the flying monkeys she's ever known in the CDC and the WHO and state election pawns she owns to make this whole disaster happen. Unbelievable? Think about the past year and a half. What ISN'T unbelievable?

Yeah, I read the actual study. The headline and first sentence of the article are bad (or dishonest) journalism.

[[Me also. D3 supplements for 20 years..I had one cold in 2012]]

Maybe if you hadn’t taken Vit D-3 you wouldn’t have gotten that one cold j/k

I, and many others, especially here, know that if it doesn’t allow big pharma to make a lot of money, they frown on it. I still swear by D3 as well as zinc and magnesium.

A friend of mine spent over a month hospitalized with Covid. He was admitted with low blood oxygen, but got progressively worse over time and died shortly after his kidneys gave up from AKI.

Apparently organ damage from Covid can be a result of cytokine storm, which I believe is the same as the "hyperactivation of macrophages" mentioned in the nih paper on Vitamin D.

It will be sad if Vitamin D given to help his immune system instead caused a cytokine storm. Just a guess on my part. There's a lot that still isn't known about the way that this disease behaves.

"increased ACE2 expression may result in enhanced viral homing and organ damage, as well as in an aberrant innate immune response with hyperactivation of macrophages"

An idiotic “study”. I wonder which drug company paid for it?

Low vitamin D won’t expose you to the Wuhan virus, but will cause you to die if you do get exposed. If your vitamin D is below 20 ng/ml you have a 98% chance of dying.

You had better warn Dr Fauci, who says he takes 6000 IU of vitamin D-3 every day, along with a not-yet-revealed amount of vitamin C.

My impression is the big drug companies are terrified of vitamins D & C, which have the potential to drive them out of business, so they subsidize the publication of elaborate lies. Enough vitamin C will apparently cure ANY acute viral infection, as was published in 1949 by Dr Fred Klenner, and never refuted by anyone. Inexpensive nebulized hydrogen peroxide is also highly effective against all upper respiratory infections, including the Wuhan virus, as publicized by Dr Thomas E Levy MD,JD in his free ebook https://rvr.medfoxpub.com/

I had 4 semesters of statistics. The single thing that I remember from all that time studying that horrid subject is that with statistics, you can take any data set and make it seem to mean any damned thing that you like.

Vitamin D is utterly critical to the immune system. Low levels have been proven to increase one’s risk of getting any given communicable disease, and among those who get it, increase the severity. To state that those with low levels of D were no more vulnerable to the Chynah Virus, or that they had cases no more severe than those with high levels, is patently absurd.

We have been, and continue to be, played by those with an interest in deceiving the general public. This “study” is simply one more straw on the camel’s back in that effort.

Maybe the author should read the study done during the Spanish flu and vitamin D (sun) then he could revise his political rant to real science.

Vitamin D may modulate the immune response to viral infections, I think the wrong question was asked.

Translation; Other than the jab, anything we see on the web that will help when it comes to COVID will be debunked. The jab is the only thing that helps. You must take the jab.

Vitamins A, C, D, zinc — all no help

Ivermectin — no help

HCQ — poison

Jab — good
