After a week’s break, we’re back! This time with a truly puzzling bit of information.
Vitamin D has now been shown in study after study to cut Covid mortality in the elderly by a massive amount – up to an 89% reduction in deaths.
This data has been steadily accumulating for months. Vitamin D has been known to be a powerful immunomodulator for decades. It’s also known to be extremely safe…almost ridiculously safe.
Yet the UK, US and France (among other nations) neither advocate for Vitamin D supplementation in their general populations as a guard against Covid-19, nor do their current treatment protocols include it.
I have to ask: WTF? Seriously, what’s going on here? Whatever it is, it’s not based on science, nor is it concerned with patient health or survival.
So if you are a doctor there’s absolutely no reason not to be administering a large Vitamin D bolus to every patient upon check-in at the hospital. To every person out there, as a preventative for both Covid and other viral illnesses, you really should be taking Vitamin D.
