Or don't. Whatever floats your boat.
Or just get tested and supplement if low.

Doesn't mean I don't think seatbelts reduce auto deaths.
Doesn't mean I don't think vitamins are beneficial.
Doesn't mean that I think Picard was better than Kirk.
You're crazy. Picard is better than Kirk.

This is not new news... I've posted it before for months. If there wasn't a profit driven agenda to Covid perhaps we would have had subsequent studies by now.

None? Yep.

Keep waiting for the pharma sponsored clinical trial so there can be a "peer reviewed study." For a supplement that cannot be patented.
British NHS, various teaching hospitals, researchers with independent grants, WHO....you don't get to just wave your hands and imagine away sources of possible peer review as impossible.

Ironic that someone did a study, clearly not big Pharma, but now there can't be a peer reviews because in your logic nobody else can afford to replicate the study. *cough*

Where are people locked down in this country? There's business shutdowns but nobody can force you to stay inside your house. No such thing as a lockdown.

For you to get the recommended RDA you would need to drink 50 gallons of milk a day. Milk has a tiny amount of vitamin d per glass.

Instead of using a supplement that cheap, avail and has no side effects?
Clearly that is just irrational... so why would people be irrational when lives are on the line.

You know why.. because the more people that die... the longer they get to stay home -- not work -- and get free money.

It can be the ONLY conclusion.

Mr Davis says Britain should follow the lead of the Spanish region of Andalusia in the south of Spain, which distributed calcifediol, a vitamin D supplement, to care home residents in November.

Since then, Andalusia's figure for deaths per million from Covid-19 has dropped from 187 in November to just 11 at the start of January, and is on track for just 33 for the month, an 82 per cent drop from November.
My family doc suggested it also. So I take it. He says vitamin D3 is best.
