The correlation between vitamin D deficiency and poor outcomes with a Covid infection has been known since spring of 2020. It boggles my mind that this hasn't been shouted from the rooftops on a daily basis. The only explanation I can come up with is that they (the public health agencies and the media) want as many of us vulnerable to poor outcomes as possible.
I still have such trouble accepting that - how can it be that so many in public health agencies have failed to become whistleblowers? I know that's not an easy position to take but it would allow one to sleep at night and ones job can't be lost. I believe that there will always be people who want to hire heroes and offer them a stable job going forward. I'm also troubled/furious with mainstream media investigative journalists who have shirked their responsibility to provide the needed work that this unconscionable situation demands.
My husband is an herbalist. I attended a conference of the American Herbalist Guild about 15 years ago in Santa Clara California. I was listening to an oncologist who was giving a talk about Vitamin D and it's importance in cancer. He stated that in his practice of over 30 years, he never met a cancer patient who didn't have low levels of vitamin D. He said that not everyone will low D will get cancer but everyone with cancer has low D at the time of their diagnosis. How has that not been shouted from the rooftops? I'm horrified by all of this.
Thank you for your post. The supplement stack: "Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Melatonin and Quercetin." To which I respectfully add: Eat real food. Stay active. Maintain your core relationships, your true social network. Take time -- if not to meditate -- to de-stress, to practice a bit of gratitude, to enjoy the good that does exist in your daily life.
If we had a healthier American population, this pandemic would be largely a non-event. Instead, we have a poly-pharmaceutically dependent population. The answer to every problem we face cannot always be more and more medications, prescribed and otherwise.

Well said. I agree 100%.
