Just a few problems here: this was an association, which does not prove causation. To get that 52%, they ignored everyone under age 40 - almost all of whom were deficient in D, none of whom died.

seems more like correlation and not actual causation...I mean some study said 80% die of covid19 had some other condition, which means likely not getting out and likely not as much Vitamin D.

NaffDaff So a bottle of vitamin tablets can protect you from this DEADLY KILLER VIRUS... sign me up I’m going to Africa next year and I don’t like the idea of catching Ebola ... well if it works on something deadly like covid it deep works on Ebola and aids etc OBVIOUSLY 🙄

I got another headline: Study indicates the blindingly obvious

Yes and if they believe FakeNewsMedia they will believe any bulshit medicalwaste coverup

Good method to reduce risk of death.

When are people in the Northern hemisphere most deficient in vitamin d could it be March and April? When did Covid-19 strike hardest?

Also why more BAME individuals in western countries suffered. But then there’s no agenda for news outlets!

Vitamin D flying of the shelves in Tesco now along with the toilet roll 🤣🤣🤣

From the start I keep saying that

ماذا أقوووووول Fekrtany شكرا لوجودك ولتعبك

I take Vitamin D anyway & have MS, so it's beneficial to me. I hardly get a cold or have a recommended flu jab either. It must be doing something right! 🙂👍

Why is this even News in September? This information has been known since late January, but anyone who recommended supplementing Vitamin C, and D, as well as Zinc were pretty much hounded for being idiots! Trump even mentioned this in February ffs!

Just have a tin of mackerel or salmon .

So how come whenever I say, 'I love getting the 'D' from my sun,' people always freak out?

Best way to get Vitamin D - exposure to sunshine

So please DON'T stay home! Go out, get some sunshine!!

Vit D is good for your immunes then?.. Just **BREAKING**

CeeMacBee Hancock said in an interview that that had looked into vit D and it was not viable

In conjunction with Zinc and electrolytes, magnesium , potassium and sodium , you reduce the risk even further

I take it everyday!! Even in the summer☀️☀️💯❤️ I take a blood test everyday 3 months to see my levels. My levels are great! Levels should be 38 mine is 67 which is above what you should have. Save the rest for winter... lol👍❤️

mssassysally And it protects against other illnesses too, but not supported by Bigpharma cos it’s cheap and doesn’t give them huge profits

If Fauci doesn’t strongly promote vitamin D supplementation this week, Trump should immediately fire him for gross incompetence.

I mean Vitamin D is essential really, along side C that also decreases complications

How do you know if you have enough?

Potentially important, but this shows a strong association, not definite cause and effect. CovidenceUK will shed light on vitamin D and so many other aspects of COVID19. Pls sign up fore the monthly surveys and help us learn more and save lives

52-48 again. Some spooky weird stuff going on or further bullshit, who knows, a study says.

Big Pharma lies about vitamin D to keep people sick with cancer… while reaping huge profits from toxic cancer treatments

Is that reflected in more people dying in cold countries, and winter, as natural sunlight provides natural vitamin D. Apparently from cholesterol which is supposed to be bad if we have too much. It’s all complicated. But I am sure Matt can simplify everything.

Fyi. Too much vit D causes side effects. Do not take without medical advice or you could do more harm than good.

Freedom_2004 Cue made dash to Holland and Barrett all shelves empty by Monday even though this has been muted since April

This was extremely obvious from the start. Especially as we approach winter, we will ALL need to take Vitamin D. It is one of the only supplements actually advised to be taken by everyone by the NHS.

If got a fucking deficiency

We have known this from the start...

We knew this back in March.

Reopen the pubs...Guinness is full of vitamin D!

Absolute Load of Rubbish, thats all you do it print Rubbish News

just wait for the panic buying

so many theories😧

Did anybody actually look at Dr Michael F. Holick's background!!

I thought that was a dangerous conspiracy theory though! ScumMedia

Stay home, they said 🤔🙄🤡

JackofWessex No. Getting outside in the fresh air will though.

And you are 99% less likely to drown, if you never go near water, get out in the sunshine, this covid thingy was invented to get all our DNA onto a national register the same as the nhs app, so they can track you were ever you are and to identify you, well they have your DNA.

JackofWessex Here we go again !

Hold your noses kids, like we did in the old days- a daily spoon of cod liver oil works wonders

March 2020 called, they want their Breaking News back!

Get sun light.

About 60 percent of elderly people living in nursinghomes, for example, are thought to be vitamin D deficient. The most likely explanation is that they simply spend too much time indoors. Sunlight is our primary source of vitaminD.

Of course

This was shouted everywhere at the start because I started taking it late March! Health and holistic medicine experts were posting this - but Yano They were sneered at cos ‘vaccine and ruin your immune system by staying indoors’ 😔

This is significant for certain regions of the UK. The North East is one and probably areas of Scotland...

And people weren’t allowed to leave their homes. An absolute travesty. Criminal

😎

and the same study found a vaccine ? ..oh

Rob_Kimbell Well I never, who would have thought it, stay healthy, go for works, keep fit, go outside. Who knew

This needs to be shouted everywhere!
