1 INTRODUCTION

There is now substantial published literature indicating that the current COVID-19 epidemic is associated with an inverse correlation between Vitamin D status and COVID infection rates and severity. Patients exhibiting Vitamin D deficiency were 5-fold more likely to manifest infection after adjusting for age (Katz et al., 2021). Deficiency also correlated with in-patient mortality rates (Infante et al., 2021). The clinical data are less clear regarding Vitamin D supplementation (with frequent calls in the literature for expanded clinical trials [Murdaca et al., 2020]) but the highly favorable risk/benefit ratio for this micronutrient prompted recommendations for its immediate clinical use (Brenner & Schöttker, 2020). This current SARS-CoV-2-driven interest in Vitamin D draws from a past interest in Vitamin D therapeutic and prophylactic utility for respiratory viruses in general. For a wide array of respiratory infections  .  .  .

In other words, Conservatives were right all along.

It was reported nearly from the beginning while it was still in China that the vast majority of those who got seriously ill and/or died were significantly deficient in vitamin D based on blood serum levels.

My family and I, including my 87 year old mother took 5,000 IU vitamin D3 daily and none of us got seriously ill though out the pandemic.

So they wanted everyone locked down, inside, behind that new, "green" energy efficient E-glass that cancels out the sun's rays, so they'd STAY deficient, when wheeling them out in the sun for a little bit could have been one of the best things for them.

"Science", my ass...

Yes, I took Vitamin D and C as well as the Ivermectin/doxycycline/zinc...

Imagine that.  A disease associated with bats in their cool dry caves outside of the reach of sunlight, and their recommendation is to remain isolated in our dry air-conditioned human bat caves outside the reach of sunlight.  Heck, the Dems even closed the beaches.

Same dosage here with D3, and a Zinc Vit C fizzy drink was my regiment.  As far as I know I never caught COVID.

You likely did, just didn't know it.

You likely did, just didn't know it.

Maybe not in my case.  (1) My first job out of college was with the State Dept of Health, add my 24 hours of Micro, and contacts with CDC?
(2) I am the ultimate curmudgeon and was a practioner of social distancng long before it ever became a term.  I typically don't get within 6 feet of anyone outside of family or close friends.  Just my nature.  (3) During the pandemic, I set up elaborate disinfection stations with 200 ppm bleach solution. 

You are right, I might have  caught it, but if there was a case study of ones who did avoid it.....

I don't know with certainty that I got it, but I likely did. I had a weird high on and off fever for a couple of days as did my mother early on when this all started. No other symptoms. But I don't recall every having a fever like that before.
