Please note that the article has not yet been certified for peer review. And it may not be the one Adams refers to. But it will do, as it relates to the same thing.

It is a meta analysis comparing vitamin D levels to COVID 19 incidence.

Expect Big Pharma blowback as vitamin D is cheaper than HCQ.

Keeping the population locked down indoors may have been very counterproductive.

Please note also a very, very interesting observation made in the article: why do bats do so well in transmitting corona viruses while other animals don’t? Bats live in caves and rarely get exposed to sunlight. Their vitamin D levels are so low as to often be undetectable. Might also explain why blacks, who have difficulty with vitamin D, are more susceptible to the virus.

I keep my level at circa 100 ng/ml.

$ trillions in losses and millions in pain suffering and death for lack of cents in vitaminD3?

I started my medical thread back in June of 08 because I was convinced that vitamin D3 made a major difference in heart disease. Since then, I have become even more convinced of that benefit plus many others. I take a 5000IU soft gel of it daily that keeps my blood level over 80. I pay Amazon four cents a soft gel for it. I have a bottle of 240 5000IU soft gels on the way for $8.40 by using their subscription service.

. Most people at my coming age this month of 86 are lucky to have a reading over 20. The key seems to be to keep the blood level over 65. The amount needed varies widely among people and that is why I recommend getting a home blood test to check your level. Doctors have been told that a reading over 100 is dangerous and this turns out not to be true. Kids that are beach users have readings over 95 all the time.

The medical profession is still behind the times on this. Many Doctors practice medicine at the level they learned in Med School. This is why the "low fat" diets a lot of them still recommend are making people obese. They were taught that CAC heart scans for heart disease are of no use when they are the best way to find out your heart condition.

My Kaiser HMO is practicing "Political Medicine" for this virus because the Execs dislike Trump. HMO Doctors are restricted to prescribing drugs and doing procedures approved by their HMO. I consider this a good procedure for them to have in most cases but in this case they are out of line.

I consider my Medical thread to be one of the best things I have ever done.

Those COVID-19 data on the vitamin-D analog are too good to be true, IMO: I commented on the trial in: investorshub.advfn.com

The paper with the data is at: sciencedirect.com

Mq that vitamin D study did NOT include zinc with the hydroxychloroquine. Why the hell the doctors did not include the component that matters is unknown other than the usual ignorance, lack of care, TDS etc.

But the study looks good enough to confirm that eating oysters daily (for zinc, vitamin B12 and protein and deliciousness) should be required by law.. Eating vitamin D3 should also be a legal requirement.

I'd be willing to swap those two laws for 1000 others.

Looks as though dying from covid is a choice.

With millions of cases, correlation of outcomes with all variables should have been done 100 times over.

But of course all sorts of things are done, costing $trillions, instead of what's needed.

Blood tests on the deceased for example would show lack of zinc and lack of vitamin D and probably Vitamin C, too much lipids and other defects. Easy to do. Dead or sick person = take blood tests, check results, see common factors.
