I'm very much opposed to the current news cycle about the vaccine when the much more immediately available fix is available on the shelf at any store that carries vitamins or milk. https://vitamind4all.org/letter.html https://vitamind4all.org/letter.html

The evidence for the effectiveness of the vaccine is stronger than this: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.08.20222638v2 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.08.20222638v...

  The vaccine won't be available to 10% of the world's population for at least 1 year.

    Pfizer is aiming for 1.3 billion doses this year. That alone gets us to 10%. The WHO also rough guessed that there are already 750 million people who have been infected with the virus. So that's another 10% who likely don't need a vaccine this year. Then there's the 600 million from Moderna. AstraZeneca is aiming for a billion doses plus partner producers, e.g. Siam Bioscience to produce 200 million doses. We're probably getting to 30%-40% globally by the end of the year. Less populous western countries will probably be fully vaccinated by the end of the year. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/us/pfizer-ceo-albert-bourla-vaccine/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/14/us/pfizer-ceo-albert-bourla-v... https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30400664 https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30400664

      That still doesn't help the hundreds of thousands of people that will be dead because they or their doctor didn't know that vitamin D is actively saving people's lives right now. Even after a diagnosis. This advice will save more than one life right? I think that's more important than just pushing the vaccine.

Is that the next magic cure you people are pushing for?
