Vitamin D3 Deficiency and COVID
As the evidence begins to pile up that the vaccines are not working to end COVID, it looks like the pharmaceutical companies are jumping on the early treatment bandwagon (as long as they can figure out how to get rich by it).
But if you’ve known where to look, early preventative steps to prepare one’s immune system for best COVID results (with vitamins and supplements), and early treatment have been advocated since relatively early in the pandemic. Yet these efforts have been regularly been dismissed and suppressed in the push for mass vaccination.
I remember seeing this video of Dr. Ryan Cole early this year (March 24, 2021) in which he recommended COVID prevention by making sure that people were not Vitamin D3 deficient in order to ward off the worst effects and outcomes of COVID.
Of course this was fact-checked to death.
But at least with regard to Dr. Cole’s claims about Vitamin D3, recent studies have begun to prove him correct. I’m grateful to have a good doctor who agrees with Dr. Cole and others and has counseled against the COVID vaccines in favor of early treatment. He has also recommended I take preventative supplements, including 5,000 i.u. of D3 daily.
But beyond simply being irresponsible, unscientific, and not in the public best interest to downplay the role of Vitamin D3 in reducing worst COVID outcomes (even “America’s Doctor” Fauci admitted he takes it preventatively), could this suppression have a racist effect?
Vitamin D Deficiency Higher Among Minorities
As we have put ever greater emphasis and attention on race and racial disparities, it has been noted throughout the pandemic that certain minority populations (especially black and hispanic groups in the US) have some statistically significant more severe outcomes from COVID (almost 3x the hospitalization rate and 2x the death rate as white and Asian populations).
The CDC chalks this higher risk up to (Marxist?) economic factors (“including socioeconomic status, access to health care, and exposure to the virus related to occupation, e.g., frontline, essential, and critical infrastructure workers”). And certainly some of these may be contributing factors.
But could the disparity be due simply to Vitamin D deficiency levels and disparities in the various populations? Both African American and Hispanic populations have been recognized as having some of the worst Vitamin D deficiency levels.
So why not encourage people to get their Vitamin D3 levels checked and make sure they are optimal? Why not encourage doctors to encourage their patients to take the “Fauci” approach? Why not get the word out by interviewing Dr. Cole on The View instead of factchecking him into oblivion? How many lives could be saved, especially among the black and hispanic populations? Is this yet another example of underlying racism in our media and political institutions?
