Is Vitamin D More Effective Than the Vax? Canada's Covid Managers Never Asked

A just published study, jointly led by Bar-Ilan University and Galilee Medical Center, looked for correlations between pre-infection serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level and COVID-19 severity and mortality. Patients with a vitamin D deficiency, defined as < 20 ng/mL, were 14 times more likely to have severe or fatal COVID-19 disease than patients with 25(OH)D ≥ 40 ng/mL.

Overall, a low vitamin D status was present in 87.4% of patients with severe or critical COVID-19, but only 34.3% of patients with mild to moderate disease were vitamin D deficient. Mortality among patients with sufficient vitamin D was 2.3%, but 25.6% in vitamin D deficient patients,an eleven-fold difference. Although not directly comparable, it is interesting in this connection to not that, according to current UK data (see Page 43), there is only a three-fold difference in all-ages death rate from Covid between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. 

It would seem that instead of seeking to instigate a civil insurrection by brutally and mendaciously insulting vax mandate protesters, Justin Trudeau would have done better to suggest that the unvaxxed take a cheap nutritional supplement not known to have killed anyone when taken in moderate quantity, and certainly not to have killed thousands, while injuring tens of thousands more, as is true of the vax.

CDC Study: 78% of vaccinated persons who died of Covid-19 had at least four risk factors
Risk factors included obesity, diabetes, immunosuppression, kidney disease, neurologic disease, pulmonary disease, cardiac disease, liver disease.

How The CDC Abandoned Science "the CDC has been ... pushing a series of scientific results that are severely deficient. This research is plagued with classic errors and biases, and does not support the press-released conclusions that often follow. In all cases, the papers are uniquely timed to further political goals and objectives; as such, these papers appear more as propaganda than as science. The CDC’s use of this technique has severely damaged their reputation and helped lead to a growing divide in trust in science by political party...."

A Covid Miscellany

There is so much to say about the government-inflicted Covid catastrophe in all it's dimensions — the totally needless disruption of education for a generation of young people; the destruction of hundreds of thousands of small businesses; the debasement of the currency through inflationary finance (the consequences of which have yet to be realized); a harvest of suicides, divorces, family violence and other tragedies — that any comment one might make seems inadequate, futile, a mere straw in the wind. But if useful comment is possible, perhaps it is the humorists and comic actors who are best qualified to add substance to the debate. In that hope, I present the irrepressible Katie Hopkins:

The Novel Corona Virus: the Biggest Mass Killer That Kills Almost No One Since Mad Cow Disease

Is the novel Corona virus scare a hoax to change public attitudes about the care and maintenance of the elderly, or to facilitate acceptance of compulsory vaccination?

Here's one doctor's assessment (if the video doesn't play for you here, you can get it directly from U-Tube, unless it's been flushed).



And has the risk of contracting the novel Corona virus, Covid-19, been massively exaggerated by media and governments? So it would appear from this analysis of the epidemic aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

What that article shows is that despite the near ideal conditions for disease transmission, a closely confined and highly social population, 83% of passengers aboard the Diamond Princess were uninfected.

Of those infected, almost half were without disease symptoms. Of those made ill, mortality was 1.2%. And of those who died all were over 70 years of age.

Does a disease like that seem like a good reason for shuttering the economy, flinging public funds in all directions, stiffing the people with massive new debt while debasing the currency, and imposing a near police-state level of supervision to prevent people from going about their lives as they see fit?

But if you are still worried about dying of what can certainly be a nasty illness, we'd advise taking 2000 units of Vitamin D, daily. Vitamin D upregulates production of innate antibiotics by the endogenous immune system, and in a controlled study has been shown to massively reduce susceptibility to flu infection. For details, we recommend this lucid and informative paper: John J. Cannell, and others: On the epidemiology of influenza.

COVID19 Death Toll in Italy: No Need to Panic Yet, or Probably, Ever

March 19, 2020: Today, deaths in Italy due to the the novel Corona virus reached a total of 3,405.

The average age of those who died was 79.5 years.

Most who died suffered from one or several other diseases, including heart disease, emphysema and diabetes.

Prior to the COVID19 outbreak, Italy's death rate was running at about 10.6 per thousand, equivalent to 639,000 per year for the country as a whole.

So deaths attributable to the novel Corona virus have thus far increased Italy's death rate for the year by at most one half of one percent.

However, since most of those carried away by the Corona virus were both very old and more or less seriously ill due to other causes, many, probably most, would have died in the current year anyway.

Therefore, when 2020 ends, the effect of the Corona virus on Italy's death toll for the year may be rather small to negligible.

Yet the Western nations are shutting down their economies and debauching the government finances in the name of what is merely another strain of flu.

Looks like a colossal scam from which those with inside knowledge of government planning will make fortunes.

What Governments should be doing is something sensible like urging old folks to self-isolate, providing old-folks with home delivery of food, medicine, etc., and getting everyone to take at least 1000 units of vitamin D every day.

Radical measures beyond such obvious, minimal and sensible actions, should prompt voters to punish governments severely, as in booting from office, for buggering up the economy, and creating schemes for looting the treasury. Trump Out, Trudeau Out, Xi Out, etc.
