I have started this thread as I can find no other specifically covering it, I wanted to add a vid of what I expected would be a substantial thread, I dont think I have the info, links etc sorted...it will be more chaotic than normal I'm afraid ( more chaotic??? surely not possible...)- Ed, Mods, please feel free to zap it is its merely duplication
There are no complete proper full scale clinical trials - one is finally under way, all funded by individuals or charities, by the UK Gpvt has declined to dip a hand in the money pocket - however, there are many observational studies which indicate a stong correlation between Vit D levels, Covid and death. Most of those who enter ICU (c 70%) are Vit D deficient with the majoity of the dead are also Vit D deficient. Sever illness and death is higher in BAME patients than in any other group, and, you guessed it, have the highest % of Vit D defficiency rates in the UK. These are only correlations, they do not PROVE a direct relationship, but they certainly tip the balance of suspicion and surely, given the level of sickness and death, worth doing a proper trial? The Govt finally given to people in care homes, 400 odd international units per day - good enought o prevent a 9 year old from developing rickets, not enough for Covid - Anthony Fauci the US Givy health Guru says he takes 6,000 units a day - in India they have get intra muscular doses of 60,000 as a one off to replenish low levels - they have reported no adverse effects. A small scale trail in Andulacia produced massively positive results where none of those treated with Vit D died, only one went to ICU but did not need intubation, whereas 2 of the 25 plus non Vit D patients died, just under half neede ICU level care. Adulacia now gives Calcifediol which is essentailly vit d afters its been switched on by the liver and the kidneys, ie it works instantly, swalloed as pills it takes many days before it enters the bloodstream in a usable form. Prior to this they were having around 70+ people dying per day, now :- There have been 94 deaths in Andalucia in last seven days.

Very important for all of us here in Northern Lattitudes, get Vit d down your necks!!
Though I disagree with pretty much everything he has ever said before, must say repect to David Davies MP for relentlessly chasing the idiots of the Bojo Clown Posse. I was origally going to post this:-
Other bits that may help...
Sorry bout the lack of organisation, just wanted to get it started - is there some massive thread already that have been my usual poor search skills......
