185 experts. Over 100 medical doctors. Roughly 100 professors, including many of the most respected vitamin D experts in the world---check out the list of names and qualifications yourself.<p>Please read the link before posting about correlation or other opinions on the topic. The point is to note the aggregate credibility of the backers here. This is analogous to the open letter done for face masks last spring.
This site has a fairly complete index of all the studies about vitamin D and COVID-19. The total weight of evidence is now quite strong.<p><a href="https://vitamin-d-covid.shotwell.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://vitamin-d-covid.shotwell.ca/</a>
Worth a read, more in depth analysis of some of these studies: <a href="https://liorpachter.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/mathematical-analysis-of-mathematical-analysis-of-a-vitamin-d-covid-19-trial/" rel="nofollow">https://liorpachter.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/mathematical-an...</a>
I have no way to judge. But I know the normal recovery rate for COVID19 is high. I also know a lot of patients are advised to take Vitamin-D supplement now. So it's hard to say if Vitamin-D is really helping or not without proper test on large group of patients with same validation methods that they use for vacines.
I mean we know vitamin-D is related to improved immunity and seemingly a whole host of other benefits.<p>We also know obesity and other chronic illness associated with diet is a horrific risk factor for covid.<p>Why in the hell haven't these options been blared across every channel and drilled into our minds?<p>If you're concerned about dying, enough to jail yourself in your house for a year, how about put down the freaking donut and get some sunshine.
Anybody from the "stay the f<i></i>* at home" crowd want to chime in ? How do I make vitamin D when it is illegal/frowned at to be outside ?
