Want to Avoid the ICU for COVID? Just Take This One Little Pill
[PJMedia] Whether or not to take a COVID vaccine and multiple boosters is a decision best left to individuals, who can assess their own risks and potential benefits better than any hamfisted government or corporate mandate ever could.But a new study published last month by the National Institutes for Health suggests "a protective role" for a tiny yellow pill that costs almost nothing. Before we go on, understand that I’m one of those crazy million-supplements-a-day people. We’ll get to that in a second, but first, let’s look at the science behind vitamin D and COVID. You can buy a year’s worth of vitamin D supplements for about $12 on Amazon. January’s NIH meta-analysis shows that taking it "results in a decreased risk of death and ICU admission." It would be fair to note that a lot of people (including Yours Truly and actual doctors and scientists) have touted the benefits of vitamin D for a long time. But this is the first time I’m aware of that the NIH has published a study of this size regarding COVID and vitamin D’s "beneficial effect in preventing acute respiratory infections and reducing their complications." "Regarding ICU admission," the study continues, "Figure 2 shows a strong association between vitamin D interventions and protective effect on ICU admission." In addition, "Figure 3 shows a significant protective effect of vitamin D administration on mortality."
