“God, you’re a dishonest troll.”

Aw. Did that nasty paper trigger you?

I notice that you didn’t address the subject of it in your rant. Is there a reason you avoided it?

Vitamin D enhances the expression of ACE2.

With most diseases this would be no big deal.
For most lung diseases Vitamin D enhances immunity.

But Covid uses ACE2 receptors to infect cells.
It’s what the Covid Spike Protein binds to.

So an increase in ACE2 expression means increased opportunity for the virus to infect cells.

This has created the question of whether Vitamin D therapy helps combat Covid, or whether it backfires and gives Covid added opportunity to create mayhem.

The paper has two disqualifiers which I pointed out and you ignored.
I won’t bother repeating them since you have already proven yourself to be dishonest and uninterested in the truth.
Sod off.
