This is disappointing in various ways. The piece starts off with mention that exposure to sunlight is the most recommended way to boost vitamin D levels, but then focuses exclusively on oral supplements. Then the recommendation against population wide testing mention none of the exceptions such as evidence of weak immune system function. Just because a pill is not a miracle cure does not mean there are no important health effects to investigate.
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoAnytime I see these vitamin D (negative) studies I am inclined to yawn and just assume we are trying to deflect attention from “stay inside and don’t get sunlight and try not to get sick” covid mandates. We aren’t even scratching the surface of how contra-evidentiary the instructions to the general population (since elites didn’t follow them) were.
- kadoban 3y agoYou are seeing Covid associations where none exist.
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoI guess I can be forgiven since society did that for 3 solid years or more.
- broast 3y agoWeren't the mandates to actually avoid being /indoors/ and amongst large groups of people? Personally, during lockdowns in the U.S is actually when I've spent the most amount of time outdoors and in the sun during my life, since there was not much else to do.
- cplusplusfellow 3y agoNo. The mandates were to shelter in place. Stay indoors. Wear masks outside.
