I really appreciated that website you sent and It made my day as I needed a good dose of humor. Not only is it not objective it is filled with scientific falsehoods. For example, the story about vitamin d supplementation goes against every peer reviewed study I have read. This website is nothing but talking points from lord Fauci big pharma and the vaccine manufacturers. There is nothing science based in it. It's obvious who is financing this site.

Facui himself takes vitamin D so the vitamin D claim is just silly.

Good point. Vitamin D supplements are mainstream. Plus there was not much saying taking D was harmful in the typical doses. So what’s the harm in taking them? It’s like a cheap insurance policy.

I disagree with that. This website is not all falsehoods. There was an article critical of the senator Ron Johnson hearing on the vaccine injured. That was done by a high level cardiologist. These are likely some valid criticisms of speakers at that conference. There were some things the critic agreed with regarding that conference. But he did not dispute everything presented at Ron Johnson's hearings. He did not say it was all bad.

My point is we should look at these criticisms of our side, and not dismiss them just because of who they come from. Yes, these guys are down on vitamins in general, and in that respect they are outsiders and the minority on Vitamin D debates by saying Vitamin D supplementation is worthless, just like we are outsiders in the COVID shot debates when compared to the majority of the world.

Much of the world has adopted mRNA vaccines, and continues to use them. Except for the very curious case of Denmark, which ended its mass vaccination campaign with a record high level of infections going on and a steeply rising rate of COVID deaths. Now Denmark has more COVID deaths per million than the U.S. but a completely different public health policy.

I read both sides, and then try to use my critical thinking skills.

If an "expert" discounts Vitamin D for COVID when ALL of the data support its use without any downsides, then their other opinions about COVID are worthless. At best they are Big Pharma cheerleaders. At worst they are Assassins of Alternative Medicine.

I believe studies show low Vitamin D levels are correlated with increased COVID risk. But I'm not aware of studies showing the use of Vitamin D supplements has shown less risk. A high level study like that would have 2 groups - one who took D and one who took a placebo. Any studies like that?

No money in it ergo ain't done. Certainly the evidence that exists is convincing. The only thing it could hurt are Big Pharma profits.

Interesting statement. I gave up debating the subject of covid mrna shots.

They are not vaccines under the standard definition of the term vaccine and as a microbiologist will never trust them

So, I have proposed a truce. If you think you your family should be injected with mrna feel free to do it. But do not even try forcing these injections or me or my family.
