This statement assumes that death is the only bad outcome from COVID that sufficient Vitamin D3 levels prevent.
Death is useful as a metric because, unlike other health outcomes, particularly quality of life ones, there's no element of subjectivity.

- rossdavidh 5y agoAnother useful aspect of death as a metric, is that it is the most widely reported (as compared to, say, maximum fever, amount of ventilation required, days in hospital, lasting anosmia, etc. etc.)
- wrycoder 5y agoIt appears that with COVID, the proximate cause of death is often mis-coded, for financial reasons.
