You can get life insurance on them and make a come up on an almost sure thing

Hate to say it but at least something good should happen from all this madness

You need an insurable interest dummy..

Some of yall really disappoint me with yall bullying tactics regarding this vaccination shyt. @carbonraddock provided sound information regarding supplements intake/immune system boosters and yall came in here like rabid dogs biting at anybody who doesnt immediately come off as aggressive vax pushers. Yall some sick people frfr.

They get mad at white people being condescending to them yet they jump at ANY opportunity to talk down on/to other black people

They have serious self-esteem issues

I heard that if you imbibe a scorching beverage, it will apprehend covid in your throat.

giving actual facts is 'awful and inconsiderate?'

that's literally the first thing pops up when you search about black people being deficient in vitamin d

Not getting into the back and forth. Just got my blood work back and my vitamin d levels were low as hell. Just picked up some myself.

hope that your cousin pulls through and others that you know get vaccinated.

[inndaskKy]

I don't know cause I didn't ask but does it matter?

It matters because someone who has told you this might not be smart enough to know the difference between getting oxygen with a mask and being on a ventilator proper. So this thread may well be based on a false premise in which case you would be spreading false information that influences other people's perception of what is going on with covid. Isn't that what pro-vaxxers claim to despise?

Hope she pull through

my mom was coughing and having chills for like 2 weeks and I thought she had COVID and I got her tested and came back negative

I’m also glad she had her Covid shot

This post shouldn't be negged. It's not anti-vax.
This is actual common knowledge. Vitamin D and zinc helps your immune system. I'm vaxxed and take vitamin supplements as well. A lack of Vitamin MAY be one contributing factor. But for sure a lack of it does not help.

yeah, i take all of those things i listed every day, so that's why i was likeat some of the responses to what i posted. this is literal scientifically-proven stuff i'm recommending, especially the thing with the black people being deficient in vitamin d. people need to actually do some basic research. it's not so much about the relative in the hospital, but the others could maybe still benefit and not get as sick if they encounter covid.

Post the study that shows a causal connection between a Vitamin D deficiency and increased hospitalization or severe symptoms from COVID-19.

Hope she recovers fully

Really pushing the vax agenda here, thats all.

Mouth breathing nikkas in here swinging for the fences.

“Take your vitamins” is a moron’s response to a pandemic.

I posted before I read. People REALLY that dense where you see someone mentioned someone they care about is on the worst case scenario and you give health advice? Yall show up to funerals for gun violence victims telling everybody to wear vests?

More like showing up to a funeral for gun violence victims and telling them to practice spirits fitness + use holy water to prevent bullets.

Post the study that shows a causal connection between a Vitamin D deficiency and increased hospitalization or severe symptoms from COVID-19.

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with COVID-19 positivity and severity of the disease - PubMed
I didn't suggest there was a definite link between Vitamin D deficiency and Covid. I was stating common knowledge.

But anyways here's a link with research suggesting a link between Vitamin D deficiency and having Covid. Which AGAIN I'm not saying it is a definite thing. BUT a lack of Vitamin D is not good for your immune system.

The present study examined the relationship between polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test positivity and clinical outcomes of vitamin D levels measured within the 6 months before the PCR test in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-positive patients. In this retrospective cohort study, COVID-19 (227) and non-COVID-19 patients (260) were divided into four groups according to their vitamin D levels: Group I (0-10 ng/ml), Group II (10-20 ng/ml), Group III (20-30 ng/ml), and Group IV (vitamin D > 30 ng/ml). Laboratory test results and the radiological findings were evaluated. In addition, for comparative purposes, medical records of 1200 patients who had a hospital visit in the November 1, 2019-November 1, 2020 period for complaints due to reasons not related to COVID-19 were investigated for the availability of vitamin D measurements. This search yielded 260 patients with tested vitamin D levels. Vitamin D levels were below 30 ng/ml in 94.27% of 227 COVID-19-positive patients (average age, 46.32 ± 1.24 years [range, 20-80 years] and 56.54% women) while 93.07% of 260 non-COVID-19 patients (average age, 44.63 ± 1.30 years [range, 18-75 years] and 59.50% women) had vitamin D levels below 30 ng/ml. Nevertheless, very severe vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml) was considerably more common in COVID-19 patients (44%) (average age, 44.15 ± 1.89 years [range, 23-80 years] and 57.57% women) than in non-COVID-19 ones (31%) (average age, 46.50 ± 2.21 years [range, 20-75 years] and 62.5% women). Among COVID-19-positive patients, the group with vitamin D levels of >30 ng/ml had significantly lower D-dimer and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, number levels, number of affected lung segments and shorter hospital stays. No difference was found among the groups in terms of age and gender distribution. Elevated vitamin D levels could decrease COVID-19 PCR positivity, D-dime and CRP levels and the number of affected lung segments in COVID-19-positive patients, thereby shortening the duration of hospital stays and alleviating the intensity of COVID-19.

nikkas contorted themselves into finding excuses and denying this situation

@Methodical I hope she pulls through
