1. Who needs an unpatented supplement like vitamin D? Just go get your Covid shot, peasant!

2. I’m old enough to remember when you could get vitamin D in, well, food.
   I bet you still can in Iran, Burma, China and Russia, places where they won’t screw up your diet and offer you MAiD instead. Here they’ll chop off your dicks and tits and jab you and then offer you MAiD.
   Are we the baddies?

3. I have an interesting anecdotal story regarding Covid and vitamin D. November 2021 I caught what I believed to be Delta and it was rough. The coughing was relentless. If it had gotten any worse I would’ve gone to the hospital. I also had a couple of strange symptoms. Severe constipation (usually Covid causes the opposite) to the point where I was getting dehydrated and due to not being able to take in water.

   The second strange symptom was a sharp pinching pain on the inside of my elbows. After Covid had gone, this persisted for about a year. I remember the following summer having severe issues tying down loads. My forearms were not only very weak but they would fatigue within minutes just doing basic work. They would be on fire, and it would slowly get better over days. But when they healed, they would be even weaker than before. It was a downward spiral. There were loads that would take me 10 hours that should take me an hour.

   I visited my doctor and he suggested a high dose regiment of vitamin D, 10k a day. Within a few days, my forearms were back to normal from a fatigue perspective, but were weak due to being in this state for a while. But at least now I could strengthen them.

4. Campbell is such a grifter. Go read the paper for yourself:

   https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10787-024-01578-w

   In it, you’ll find both enthusiastic endorsements for the benefits of Vitamin D, but also admissions that the empirical data is lacking:

   However, there is still no clear evidence of vitamin D’s impact on prevention and treatment, leading to contradictory findings. Therefore, large-scale randomized trials are required to reach a definitive conclusion.

   Campbell doesn’t tell you about that part. It’d water down the message, I suppose.

   But why would they publish a paper that seemingly says two conflicting things? One reason may be that this paper was not peer reviewed. It was accepted 9 days after submission. Reviewers might well have insisted that the paper get its story straight, likely by toning down the cheerleading.

   1. Yep. Campbell lacks depth of intelligence. He is one of those people who continually falls for a magic bullet that never is. Often Wrong Campbell. But for some reason, like a cockroach he never dies.

   3. So KM your point here is that Dr Campbell is flat out wrong and Vit D has no big immune system benefit?
