Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality - Scientific Reports

Vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with reduced immune function that can lead to viral infection. Several studies have shown that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increases the risk of infection with COVID-19. However, it is unknown if treatment with Vitamin D can reduce the...

I always thought it was a no brainer to supplement with D3. My doctor just thought “smart move”. So, from the start of the pandemic I’ve been taking D3. This did not require a study to figure out. Also got vaccinated through the latest Moderna booster. Whatever reduces my chances of Long Covid, and reducing that risk requires reducing the risk of Covid in the first place, is a part of my defense system. Don’t need brain fog. Already have chronic fatigue, don’t need to magnify it to the power of 10. Death comes to us all, eventually. Long Covid does not have to, and preserving some quality of life requires that Long Covid be kept at bay. Those two Long Covid symptoms, extreme fatigue and brain fog, are killer, in terms of flushing quality of life right down the drain. And avoiding that is the #1 reason I want to avoid Covid. Pre-existing conditions do not help in my case, and D3 will continue as part of my arsenal…

At this point, I don’t think these folks are going to be convinced by facts, policies, or science. It’s part of their identity now. Much like politics, they’re bored with regular science and want to be known as “anti-establishment.” I’ve reviewed the last several pages recently to understand why anyone would be anti vax for children given how infectious Covid is, and I’ve seen that the same folks who were anti vax months and months ago remain so no matter what the data says.

Just like politics, Identity, feelings, and the need to be entertained by not being “suckered by the establishment” > facts, evidence, and plain good policy influenced by experts and expertise.

This post remains relevant… it’s the best description of anti vaxxers and what motivates them.
 
I would hope people who are immunocompromised, like me, are already aware of their Vit D levels and are already on supplements.

Any preventative measure is good.
 
Things got crazy in China! I came back to China 2 months ago and it things were looking promising for opening up and they had new rules easing up. Then lockdowns swept across Beijing and other places. Then protests erupted that I had been worrying about for about 6 months. Rumors started floating around that China might open up or they might start massive lockdowns and send military to stop things. I think the government had a debate about it and thankfully things opened instead of the other way. It was quite stressful since we were in the midst of packing and getting ready to move. Most services got suspended and we are worried about getting stuck.

Now to the opening up part. Wow! I don't think the virus has ever spread this fast. It makes me worry variants will pop up due to the speed and lack of vaccines. I went to the bar for a goodbye party for me. Most people I knew were locked down so we had a small goodbye thing with about 18 people. Within a few days 16 of them had COVID. The only ones who didn't we're my wife and I, but that was due to us having it a month before in the USA. It's sweeping around so fast. Everyone has it within a week or two. China is so dense and almost no one has been exposed, this is unprecedented probably in history. Most people stopped testing so the numbers are not remotely accurate, not that they have ever been trusted.

why is it that the authorities still can't emphasize the role of age and health status in Covid risk profile ???

Stop cheering for the death of people with health issues and acting like all people need to do is be in good health like superior you to not have anything to worry about.

Everyone knows that being in good health is the best defense. No one is hiding that fact. There is no conspiracy on this subject.

Pick something real to talk about.
