You don't even need to do bloodwork. You just need to be aware that vitamin D deficiency may potentially cause COVID, and then increase your vitamin D intake.

- stefan_ 6y agoThis must be the weirdest Vitamin D take yet. Whatever Vitamin D does, likely nothing, it does not cause COVID.
- whoisburbansky 6y agoOP does say _deficiency_, so it doesn't sound like they're claiming Vitamin D causes COVID?
- stefan_ 6y agoA Vitamin D deficiency can still not cause COVID, why would you think that?
- whoisburbansky 6y agoFair enough, yeah, when you put it like that, it's obviously false haha.
- jdeibele 6y agoSo I don't believe that Vitamin D prevents COVID but I still increased my intake of Vitamin D because it seems like Vitamin D deficiency increased the severity of COVID. I wear a mask and practice social distancing to prevent COVID. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385774/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7385774/ is a UK study from July that doesn't come to any conclusions but they say "Our opinion is that if vitamin D does in fact reduce the severity of COVID-19 with regard to pneumonia/ARDS, inflammation, inflammatory cytokines, and thrombosis, then supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic."
- catlifeonmars 6y agoI think you may have misread the parent comment, which reads “vitamin D deficiency”.
- tcskeptic 6y agoVitamin D deficiency also does not cause COVID.
