That's the whole point! You're not qualified to make such a judgement!

By finding current and mainstream scientific opinion in the peer reviewed literature.

Supplementing Vitamin D has a small but positive effect on reducing acute respiratory infections. Something like 9% reduced incidence. That's due to vitamin D derivatives being important in multiple parts of the adaptive immune response.

It is also well short of the effect of the vaccines with respect to Covid-19.

The late Dr Prendergast in the youtube video, does not actually contradict that. He says that German scientists in the 1920s thought that the vitamin D supplementation was better than any vaccine was likely to be. But that is in the context of bird flu and the 1920s, and Germany between the wars.

I'm qualified to wonder what the fuck he's talking about, and know enough infectious diseases to know that "The whole immune system would become measurably stronger by a factor of 3 to 5 times" is bullshit.

No, you're not! You're not a scientist! You're not a subject matter expert. Shut up! You're lucky this is a free speech site. On any other corporate controlled platform you'd be silenced for spreading disinformation. And rightly so.

No, you're not! You're not a scientist! You're not a subject matter expert.

The people who wrote this review are scientists. They find that the effect of supplementation by vitamin d on acute respiratory infections is a reduction by 1% to 16% in incidence (that's a 95% confidence interval). (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.91, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.99; P for heterogeneity 0.01)

That's not better than a vaccine

You're injecting YOUR opinions, which are NOT scientific opinions. You're not a scientist! You're not a subject matter expert! How is this so hard to understand‽ Shut up!

What opinion is mine and not a scientists, that you are objecting to?
