Study: Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Severe COVID

Carolyn Crist   |   Feb. 8, 2022

People with a vitamin D deficiency are more likely to have a severe or critical case of COVID-19, according to a new study published in the journal PLOS ONE.

The study is based on data from Israel’s first two coronavirus waves before vaccines were widely available. The scientists stressed that vitamin supplements aren’t a substitute for vaccines but that they can help immunity levels.

“We found it remarkable, and striking, to see the difference in the chances of becoming a severe patient when you are lacking in vitamin D compared to when you’re not,” Amiel Dror, MD, the lead study author and a doctor at Galilee Medical Center, told The Times of Israel.

Although the study was conducted before the Omicron variant, he said, the coronavirus hasn’t changed enough to negate the effectiveness of vitamin D.

“What we’re seeing when vitamin D helps people with COVID infections is a result of its effectiveness in bolstering the immune systems to deal with viral pathogens that attack the respiratory system,” he said. “This is equally relevant for Omicron as it was for previous variants.”

I seem to recall a number of doctors saying this exact same thing way back in early 2020, only to find themselves censored by Facebook, Twitter, etc, and ignored by the MSM.

Any treatment that would mitigate the effects of the virus prior to hospital admission was suppressed.

I haven't seen such a thirst for a body count since the Vietnam War, but those were enemy bodies being counted then.

Several months ago, inside a COSTCO, I witnessed an elderly Chinese couple filling their cart with DOZENS of bottles of Vitamin D...wondered WTF they were doing.

Sheesh. If they were pill supplements, they're pretty much worthless.

I do take a liquid supplement, and drink milk fortified with the stuff. Just keep your mineral intake up as well since you get too far out of balance, you'll deplete the other stuff.
