This report is a cracker.
They recruited 154 COVID patients; 91 asymptomatic; 63 severely ill needing ICU.
Only 2 of the ill folk were not deficient in vitamin D. TWO!!!
The fatality rate was 7 x higher in vitamin D deficient (21% vs 3.1%) SEVEN!!! https://twitter.com/RoseAnnekenny1/status/1330072125638578178">https://twitter.com/RoseAnnek...

I know @MattHancock backtracked on his statement that the UK Govt had looked into this and found no effect from vitamin D; but this is likely as effective as any vaccine; is an essential nutrient with many other benefits; is proven to have no harm, & should be given en masse
Also @MattHancock should be fired for that one statement; that was the point where I stopped thinking of him as merely incompetent and started thinking he was evil.
For those wondering what I would do if I was @MattHancock, apart from curling up in a ball and crying uncontrollably at that cruel twist of fate, read this thread https://twitter.com/SurbitonSteve/status/1330767216711774208">https://twitter.com/SurbitonS...
