    doesn't need to be mandated as far as I'm concerned... like I said, as long as it comes with a microchip and Bill Gates autograph, I'm onboard, tbh...

    No one is shouting this from the rooftops, as there's not much profit

    If one has one of these serious issues, one is DESPERATE and would probably be willing to try. Only anecdotes - not random, double blinded whatever - but who has interest in really testing something as cheap as vitamin D - there is no money in it. Seems like all the studies done are far too low or not long enough or (high dose) couple times a week instead of daily.

    Anyway, there is widespread vitamin D deficiency - even here in sunny Florida.

    No one seems to care. Such an inexpensive way to avoid severe covid-19 symptoms. Oh well.

    I agree with you - I'd even up it to 5000IU during this time. And the low dose aspirin in case of covid clotting.

    This is sorta-hilarious because your anti-vaxxer position comes directly from anecdote, tbh...

    If I had dark skin, I'd definitely take higher doses. It's also dirt cheap, as is the aspirin.

    I'm not anti-vax. I have no need to take one for covid, but I would. I'm more worried about shingles, tbh.

    Because it's actually not proven as an effective treatment to Covid?

    That paper doesn't say what you claim above...

    You. IIRC, you claimed one of your kids having a adverse reaction to a vaccine?

    There's a reason Calcifediol is a prescription-only medicine, and it's not your over the counter D vitamin.

    Allergies. I don't know why you think I'm anti-vax - I think one should be given a CHOICE whether to be vaccinated or not. If you saw your kid almost die in front of you, you'd never give him another vaccine either. The rest of my family is completely up to date with traditional vaccines (for school) but we do not take flu, others.

    They used it because it ramps up vitamin D fast. The ones you get over the counter take days.

    https://medium.com/@shinjieyong/the-...9-906a9d907468

    Has there been enough time for studies/proof? Isn't it just common sense that aspirin helps to thin the blood and might help with clotting? And isn't:

    Vitamin D can modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an increased susceptibility to infection.

    These were hospitalized patients.

    2% of those receiving vitamin D went on to ICU (1 of 50), vs 50% of placebo

    Zero on vitamin D died. 2 of 13 died in placebo group that went to ICU.
