Massive study finds that vitamin D is helpful in protecting against covid infections and death.

It turns out that the higher the vitamin D dosage, the lower the risk of infection. Interesting.

Do you remember when years ago at the beginning of the pandemic, some people said it would be a good idea to take vitamin D and that it could possibly help against covid?
Of course, they were called conspiracy theorists and vilified. Especially those who talked about a certain “horse paste” were very much attacked by the media. No, only crazy people would take something like that. The science had spoken!
We would have to wait for some official new medicine from Pfizer to safely treat covid they said, a treatment that also happened to be very expensive and would make a lot of money…
As you probably know, more or less the only treatment we have been offered for covid is the mRNA vaccines, a technology that hasn’t been widely used before. Take the vaccine and you would not get covid they said.
It turns out there is in fact a very cheap, safe and effective thing that protects against covid – That thing is called vitamin D!

A new study published in the prestigious Nature magazine has indeed found that vitamin D not only reduced your risk of getting infected with covid but also lowers the risk of death.
This study is no small study either. Over 600 000 U.S veterans took part in the study, so we are getting good reliable data here. And they used different versions of vitamin D, one called vitamin D2 and the other vitamin D3 and they both produced different results.
So what does the study show?
For the participants who got vitamin D3, there was a nice 20% reduction in getting infected with covid. For those who got vitamin D2, there was a large 28% reduction in covid infections.
Meaning that if you took vitamin D2, you would be almost 30% less likely to be infected by covid to begin with. That is huge.
But for those who took a very high-level dose of vitamin D, the reduction in covid infections was even higher. At an average daily dosage of 50 000 IU of vitamin D in people who had low levels to begin with, there was a 49% reduction in covid infections.
It turns out that the higher the vitamin D dosage, the lower the risk of infection. Interesting.
What about covid deaths?
Here is where things get very interesting indeed. Let’s begin by saying that among the untreated group, only 0.35% died from covid. So the death rate is pretty low to begin with. But there is a way to lower this death rate significantly…with vitamin D
For those who took vitamin D3, there was a massive 33% REDUCTION in deaths within 30 days after a covid infection.
Not only that but there was actually another study done in Andalusia which saw the exact same 33% reduction in deaths. Two different studies done in different places giving the same result? I think that is what we call real science!
So you reduce the risk of getting covid. You reduce the risk of dying after covid by taking vitamin D, a safe, effective and very cheap treatment. Why isn’t this all over the news? HELLO!?!?!
And it turns out that the effectiveness is dose-dependent, meaning that those who received higher doses had greater benefits than those who got smaller doses. But the group that saw the largest decrease in infection and mortality, was those who got a low dose of vitamin D compared with those who got no vitamin D at all. Now that might sound a little confusing, so let me explain. It means that taking even just a low dose of vitamin D gives you protection compared with not taking any at all. But taking even higher doses gives you even more benefits.
And get this, the people who had the most benefit from taking this were black people. The reason being is that dark-colored skin means it takes longer time to produce vitamin D from the sunlight compared with pale skin, so people with darker skin are more likely to be deficient in vitamin D. So it is especially important for black people to take vitamin D supplements.
So how many deaths could have been avoided if everyone took vitamin D?
It turns out that in the USA in just the year 2020 alone, there would have been 4 million fewer infections with covid, and a whopping 116 000 deaths could have been avoided – If only the politicians and the media had told us to take vitamin D to begin with.
Imagine how many deaths could have been avoided worldwide!
But no, those who talked about such things was called crazy conspiracy theorists and science deniers.
Not only does vitamin D work against covid, but it seems like it helps protect against other infections and viruses as well.
Read here what the authors of this study had to say in their conclusion.
“As a widely available, inexpensive, and safe treatment, vitamin D3 could be a helpful tool for reducing the spread of COVID-19 infection and related mortality”
Why aren’t doctors prescribing this stuff?
In Norway where I live, the doctors are pretty good and almost at every visit they have wanted to take blood tests for vitamin D levels. And they even prescribed me vitamin D! But elsewhere, it does not seem like doctors have been very interested in doing this. Now I wonder why…
In Britain, doctors got paid £15 (almost $18) from the government for each covid vaccine they give patients, and it only takes a few minutes to give a jab. That kind of money for a few minutes work, why would they prescribe vitamin D instead? Follow the money.
And this is nothing new!
In fact, we have known for a long time that vitamin D has been effective against covid, yet nobody in the media has been talking about it. Also, vitamin D has long been KNOWN to improve the immune system, so it makes perfect sense that it would protect against covid.
Yet nobody in the media told us this. No politician went out and informed us of this. Doctors didn’t tell us this. It was the so-called conspiracy theorists that first started talking about this. Only now, years later has the scientists finally admitted to what we knew from the beginning.
Instead, they have been pushing us all to take a new mRNA technology that hasn’t been in widespread use before, of course making billions in profit for Big Pharma. Not only that, but they pushed other treatments like Remdivisir. Meanwhile, the very cheap vitamin D has been completely overlooked.
I have been taking vitamin D in the winter ever since covid came and I’m doing fine. And I think it would be wise for everyone to get their vitamin levels checked in a blood test, the thing is, many people are deficient in vitamin D so it is likely that it would be smart to take some.
And please make sure to share this article everywhere you can, you never know. It might save someone’s life!
In unrelated news… A cruise ship in Australia just had 800 people onboard get infected with covid. What the media isn’t telling you is that everyone onboard had to be fully vaccinated AND tested. Very effective!
