- scythe 6y agoThe study says: >Bolus vitamin D3 supplementation during or just before COVID-19 was associated with better survival rate in frail elderly. That's rather close to the headline.
- hannob 6y agoNo. The HN headline implies causation. The study result does not. (The study authors try to imply causation as well, but that's not what the study says.)
- scott_s 6y agoAgreed. To support what you said: the phrase "was associated with" is not a causative claim. You cannot go from that phrase to "improves."
