Dr. Fauci needs to do his due diligence on recent vitamin D correlation studies with patients surviving and/or avoiding Covid-19, and, he needs to reacquaint himself with all the previous studies on Vitamin D’s remarkable ability to fight and mitigate respiratory infections — which includes the flu. He also should bone up on vitamin D’s capacity to modulate immune response and avoid the two extremes of hyperactive immune response versus tolerance. Its very hard to guess Fauci’s motivations for ignoring what he once recommended. I give him a D for not recommending Vitamin D at this time.
It is indeed a funny old world. Gets funnier every day, although I suspect it’s always been this way. It’s just my sense of humor is improving with age.
A study was recently released of covid-19 patient outcomes based on vitamin D blood levels. Given the megatons of research on the wide spectrum of positive health effects of vitamin D, this was a pretty obvious thing to investigate.
The difference between critical and severe covid-19 cases and mild ones was fairly astonishing, based on a vitamin D level easily achievable with reasonable supplementation.
There was also an Irish study that looked at covid-19 patient outcomes based on latitude that confirms one’s intuition.
Will be writing more about this whole area. Still digging into related areas of obfuscation and finance.
In Canada, Silk brand of non-dairy milk just changed their carton's image to be more hip, but dropped the amount of vitamin D per cup from 45% to 10% of the daily recommended value. Scary, considering all the talk here and the news.
