    Yes it was a 5year study and used the NIH baselone of 20 ng/mL. More recent observational study using 50 ng/mL showed a much higher effect. It's not your RCT but it's a very well organized study that when I posted you completely ignored or dismissed.

    I do dismiss observational studies for Vitamin D because they have many times in the past shown strong positives that have turned out incorrect.

    There is a reason: Vitamin D correlates with good health in many different ways (and its lack with illness) it is difficult to separate out all those factors in an observational study.

    And since when does asking questions not relate to science. My how the pandemic has changed the way we approach problems. Do as I say! Why? Because!!!!!

    Let me give you a non-science question: "When did you stop beating your wife?"


    Or another one: "Why should I not, with a mob of like-minded people, declare the election invalid and threaten bloody violence if my preferred candidate does not win?".


    Since this is the Playground:

    • Any electoral system is imperfect and unfair
    • If you can convince enough people of this (female suffrage, voting without literacy tests, voting for those who are not land owners, etc) it can be reformed
    • Not accepting a democratic result will inevitably lead to civil war


    Maybe the US has got to a place where both sides feel that civil war is worth it. I hope not. And I'm sure as hell there are a lot of people in the middle who do not want that.

    Vitamin D Levels in Ethnic Minority Adolescents in Primary Care


    https://www.jpedhc.org/article/S0891-5245(22)00106-7/fulltext


    ABSTRACT

    Introduction

    This pilot study examined the distribution of low vitamin D levels among ethnic minority adolescents in primary care to elucidate the clinical needs of this diverse population.

    Method

    A cross-sectional study was conducted using a retrospective patient chart review. Participants were a consecutive sample of 119 ethnically diverse adolescents aged 12–18 years, attending a primary care clinic, who had a wellness examination in 2018 and documented vitamin D levels on the basis of previously collected blood work.

    Results

    Sixty-one percent of adolescents had low vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency increased with age, independently of ethnicity or gender.

    Discussion

    A significant number of ethnically diverse adolescents presented with low vitamin D levels. A need exists to raise awareness among clinicians regarding social determinants of health and culturally sensitive dietary practices to improve vitamin D levels and prevent long-term complications, focusing on adolescent at-risk ethnic groups.

    Association Between Race and COVID-19 Outcomes Among 2.6 Million Children in England


    Association Between Race and COVID-19 Outcomes Among 2.6 Million Children in England
    This cohort study investigates the association between race and childhood COVID-19 testing and hospital outcomes in children from family practices in England.
    jamanetwork.com


    Key Points

    Question Is race associated with COVID-19 testing and hospital outcomes in children in England?


    Findings In this cohort study of 2 576 353 children (0-18 years of age) in England with COVID-19 disease, children who were Black, Asian, or of mixed race had lower proportions of SARS-CoV-2 tests and had higher positive results and COVID-19 hospitalizations compared with White children. These results held after key demographic factors and selected comorbidities were accounted for.


    Meaning These findings suggest that race may play an important role in childhood COVID-19 outcomes, which reinforces the continued need for a race-tailored focus on health system performance and targeted public health interventions.

    Stephanie seneff was right!!!! Glyphosate is in human blood.


    Disturbing’: weedkiller ingredient tied to cancer found in 80% of US urine samples


    ‘Disturbing’: weedkiller ingredient tied to cancer found in 80% of US urine samples | US news | The Guardian


    More than 80% of urine samples drawn from children and adults in a US health study contained a weedkilling chemical linked to cancer, a finding scientists have called “disturbing” and “concerning”.


    The report by a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that out of 2,310 urine samples, taken from a group of Americans intended to be representative of the US population, 1,885 were laced with detectable traces of glyphosate. This is the active ingredient in herbicides sold around the world, including the widely used Roundup brand. Almost a third of the participants were children ranging from six to 18.

    Certainly every weedkiller ever used leaves traces in the human body.


    As always the difference between weirdo Comp Sci's turned antivaxxers like Seneff and the rest of us is an appreciation that the magnitude of effects matters.


    More seriously: Seneff blames glyphosphate for everything under the sun - none of it evidenced.


    THH

    The FDA has declared glyphosphate a cancer causing agent. It is now found at disturbing levels in human blood. If a body has plutonium it's at undetectable levels , plutonium is naturally occurring ! Maybe I should come over and spray your tomato's with a little roundup. I bet you won't be to excited to feed them to your dad or daughter. You seem to support corporate contamination and no not every weedkiller used has shown up in human blood. As a matter of fact this is the first time weedkiller has been found in human blood.

    COVID booster shots appear to be less than 20% effective against infection with the omicron variant of the virus just a few months after the booster is given, a new study found this week.


    The Italian study, which is a pre-print review and re-analysis of prior studies and has not been peer-reviewed, suggests boosters are effective in the short term to restore protection against the virus. But over just a few months, that wanes quickly.


    "Booster doses were found to restore the VE [vaccine effectiveness] to levels comparable to those acquired soon after administration of the second dose; however, a fast decline of booster VE against Omicron was observed, with less than 20% VE against infection and less than 25% VE against symptomatic disease at 9 months from the booster administration," the authors wrote in the paper released Wednesday.


    It's a crucial question to understand, given that boosters widely became available about 9 months ago in the United States, and that a new surge is now happening with the BA.5 variant of omicron -- which appears to be better at reinfecting people than any past strain of the virus.

    A major repurposed drug trial targeting COVID-19 called COVID-OUT has results, and metformin looks like a winner, while ivermectin failed to show any statistically significant results. The study’s principal investigator, Dr. Carolyn Bramante, recently talked with Minneapolis’ main daily news outlet to discuss the long-awaited study result. Led by the University of Minnesota and backed by UnitedHealthcare (Optum) with several trial sites, this hybrid trial included a home delivery component for patient-centricity. TrialSite had engaged with Dr. Bramante on a couple of occasions and even posted an advertisement on behalf of the study to help raise awareness to drive more patient participation. TrialSite commended the underlying goal of this Phase 3 pivotal study: investigate the use of low-cost, safe, repurposed drugs as an early treatment regimen for COVID-19. While ivermectin proponents are no doubt disappointed as to the findings (although the dosage and regimen appear to have been too low), the investigators discovered that COVID-19 patients were less likely to die or need hospital care if they received the common anti-diabetes drug metformin. This represents a potential breakthrough. The results were disclosed recently in a national online presentation by the study authors. Led by Bramante, the researchers have submitted the results for peer review in a medical journal.

    Unluckily a single Plutonium atom in your lungs can cause cancer. In other places in the body its less sensitive. The dose makes the poison as Paracelsius found... But nobody knows the effects of mixing to many "bad substances" at low concentrations. Everything is possible.

    So we should avoid to widen the cocktail.

    Glyphosate overall is on the harmless side but what about its metabolisms? Or byproducts that are not completely removed? On any flight from/to Europe or Asia/AUS you get a full dose of a insecticide that is floated into the cabin about 30 minutes before landing. I know quite a few people that show bad reaction afterwards....


    There is an endless list...

    Different size of bribes. Pfizer pays way more for fake studies and "datascience"...


    Best booster is a live TB vaccine. Then the use of our preparation combo.


    Most Pfizer bribed papers (also included in study) claim facts based on "useless antibody" levels that are high again but in reality cause immune suppression.


    ==> only real data counts that tells boosters are -100% effective...It is silly to make different measurement intervals e.g. first 3 months where the Pfizer booster kills the sensitive in the first 2 weeks that are not looked at...

    Here are 10 things you need to know about glyphosate:

    Glyphosate is rarely used on its own, but as part of a chemical cocktail, for instance with the trade name Roundup or Weedol.

    These formulations are potentially far more dangerous. Dr Robin Mesnage of Kings College London, writes "We know Roundup, the commercial name of glyphosate-based herbicides, contains many other chemicals, which when mixed together are 1,000 times more toxic than glyphosate on its own." Recent research has show these other chemicals include arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and nickel.

    The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says that glyphosate is safe. However, most of their research is provided by the industry which created the herbicide. They haven’t tested the various individual commercial formulations. And regulation safety tests on mammals cover a short period, maximum 90 days. No-one knows the effect of longterm exposure to these toxic chemicals.

    This is worrying, because independent research indicates that glyphosate is not only possibly carcinogenic, but that it also affects the body’s endocrine system – causing problems in the liver and kidneys. Industry testers dispute this, but interestingly have declined to reveal all the results of their safety tests. See Corporate Europe report.

    Over 60% of wholemeal bread contains traces of glyphosate, according to PAN UK. While not necessarily toxic in small amounts, this gradual and persistent intake could create a health risk.

    This recent paper explores the effect of GBHs (glyphosate based herbicides) on the human gut. Interference with gut enzymes gives rise to many diseases such as gastrointestinal disorders, obesity and diabetes. Another paper reveals that glyphosate can increase our antibiotic resistance- a global health problem looming on the horizon.

    Glyphosate is the most widely and heavily used agrichemical worldwide, in agriculture, parks and amenities as well as in gardens.

    Recent research shows that glyphosate formulations destroy the micro organisms in healthy soil, and affects earthworms. (For a full review of the research of glyphosate on soil ecosystems, see this 2016 report from the Soil Association.)

    Glyphosate producers claim it is rapidly inactivated in the soil. However, the chemical is very persistent in soils and sediments, and in colder, seasonal climates, such as the UK, residues have been found in the soil for up to 3 years. It also inhibits the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on clover for up to 4 months after treatment.

    Again, makers of glyphosate claim that it is unlikely to pollute the water (ground or surface). However, a recent review has shown high levels detected in ground water and in some cases above legal groundwater quality standards. Water contamination is probably as a result of drift from spraying, or for soil run off and erosion from both farming and domestic use.

    As a matter of fact this is the first time weedkiller has been found in human blood.

    That is incorrect: as is the rest of your post.


    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2366574/#:~:text=The%20average%20total%20DDT%20concentration,o%2Cp%E2%80%B2%2DDDT.


    or if you want specifically herbicide try clopyralid


    https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5389


    or aminopyralid.


    All these chemicals find themselves into human bodies, as well as many other much nastier ones.


    And whether the current regulatory standards (for human health) are proportionate or not - well there are a few cases where more evidence leads to much tighter need for regulation...

    COVID Boosters Might Be Less Than 20% Effective After a Few Months: Study

    I suggest you check for revisions in these studies. Here are the conclusions from the original and revised version of one of them.


    Conclusions Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta. Our results may be confounded by behaviours that we were unable to account for in our analyses. Further research is needed to examine protection against severe outcomes.


    REVISED CONCLUSION:


    Conclusions In contrast to high levels of protection against both symptomatic infection and severe outcomes caused by Delta, our results suggest that 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines only offer modest and short-term protection against symptomatic Omicron infection. A third dose improves protection against symptomatic infection and provides excellent protection against severe outcomes for both variants.
