@deNutrients One of my professors got the jab & said she heard black people are more at risk to catch covid. If that is true, it is because the melanin in their skin protects against too much UV absorption. Whites have less melanin. Vit D deficiency is the pandemic: https://t.co/PCedBENOt4

@hipacrocapig @Liz_ORiordan Studies of vitamin D don't usually give enough. If you are interested, look for the work of Prof Holick. https://t.co/O5Km3LETwK And this finding is very important. There's a lot like this. https://t.co/ohq7negJ8x.

@and_furiouser Optimal vitamin D levels boost your immune system, full stop. Why is this controversial? The difference is massive. We had no official treatment. Our only line of defense in 2020 was our immune systems. https://t.co/K0AXop3EZA https://t.co/7YCyUMyx10 https://t.co/cBYpXoNHDI

#VitaminD and #publichealth It's very common to have vitamin D deficiency. (1 #billion people have it. ) What's the #answer? 1. Vitamin D Supplmentation or 2. More Food fortification with Vitamin D or 3. Both https://t.co/g4aLUYvQJH

Aika ohuita putkia pitkin johtopäätöksiä voidaan vedellä lisäainekriittisyydestä ja/tai laatutietoisuudesta. Tuotesisällöt yhteisvaikutuksineen ja turvalliset puolustuskyvyn hoitomahdollisuudet ansaitsisivat vapaampaa vertaisarviointia, esim. D-vitamiiniin:https://t.co/hIt5qkWr9t https://t.co/joab4hTp7F

@ScottAdamsSays I knew from the beginning, as sepsis was noted early on as a connected cause of death, then it disappeared... Vitamin D deficiency is what allows for a Cytokine Storm, the role of Vitamin D is severely underestimated... So the mother fuckers hid the info. https://t.co/P4haBrHKIk

@KCthehamster @EmergMedDr D3 taken prophylactically can mean your immune system fights covid off naturally (like most healthy people do) BAME ppl are D deficient in northern climates People in care & elderly who don't get out are deficient Those account for most covid deaths https://t.co/jhQUkMTPte

@ananavarro @NYGovCuomo Why is this Pandemic ever mentioned? You do realize ventilators, in some cases, contributed to Cokytine Storm and Sepsis... But not once has anyone from the Press asked a reasonable question as to what we can do to reduce risk if we contracted the virus.. https://t.co/P4haBrHKIk
