?? Sometimes it is statements like this that cause such an adverse reaction. Perhaps I have misunderstood?
You make it sound as if Vit. D is of barely any importance!
Bob - if that causes an adverse reaction i am sorry, but rather surprised.
I am positive on Vitamin D. I've been taking it myself.
I can't see how you get from "vitamin D has a chance of being a good therapy for severe COVID" to "vitamin D is of barely any importance".
The truth is that it has not been easy to find anything to help severe COVID - a dreadful disease here your whole body starts leaking blood, and then clotting. If Vitamin D did that it would be a game changer. Even if, more likley, it significantly reduces progsresion and death it will be a very big deal.
Anyway, we do not yet know: we have just that one RCT.
It is the aspect of therapy that is most exciting because there is the possibility of finding a magic bullet for severe COVID once we have enough handle on exactly how that works. Whereas anti-virals are slow to find and because the virus mutates we will probably need a lot of different ones combined to be effective. It is a pity the testing so far has been so concentrated on just one or two candidates.
