Study / Here is the truth about Vitamin D and protection from COVID according to experts

Study / Here is the truth about Vitamin D and protection from COVID according to

At the same rate as COVID-19 spread around the world, misinformation about its treatment spread at the same rate. But not always misinformation arises unfounded in n a truth, making it even harder to disprove them.

Dogs vitamin D?

Since the onset of the pandemic, there are many treatments that have been suggested for Covid-19. Hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and vitamin D, are included in the study.  

To suggest that a treatment may be effective and then have difficulty finding scientific evidence for it is more than normal.

But Internet research can often be taken out of context, causing confusion and not infrequently promoting conspiracy theories. There is a logic to why vitamin D may be helpful in treating or preventing Covid.

It plays an important role in boosting people’s immunity and it has already been recommended that all persons in the UK take it during the winter, while those with severe deficiency take it throughout the year. So far, no research has shown enough convincing detail to support the idea that higher doses may prevent COVID infection although one may change in the future.

Should I start taking vitamin D?

It is actually a tip that has been taken into consideration by many people online. Some have gone much further, suggesting on Reddit forums that governments are "barely mentioning" the effectiveness of vitamin D, instead they are focusing on "vaccines and police state rules" or raising claims that its effectiveness is being ignored. because the World Health Organization supplies and invests in large pharmaceutical companies.

Governments have focused on promoting other cheaper and more effective treatments like dexamethasone. Vitamins are a multi-million dollar industry.

What do the studies say?

Many studies have shown a link between the results of vitamin D and Covid, however they are mainly observational in nature - meaning that they simply compare the consequences of what happens to people with higher and lower levels of vitamin D without taking in other factors to consider.

This is not a definitive test, which will need more detailed and non-random analysis, so that scientists have a clear idea of ??what the treatment has affected.

Observational studies show that certain groups who have shown severe vitamin D deficiency are more likely to become infected with Covid - older people, overweight people, people of color.

According to observers, this deficiency may be the reason why these groups are at higher risk or there may be other health and environmental factors that also contribute to the decline in vitamin D levels and greater susceptibility to the virus.

Health authorities recommend that people with fair skin, "for example people of African, Caribbean or South Asian descent", should consider taking a vitamin D supplement "all year round".

Vitamin levels can also be a consequence, more than a cause of illness.

We will be able to determine vitamin D as the cause, once controlled tests have been performed.

Studies in Spain

A particular study from the University of Barcelona has attracted particularly much attention, claiming to be the only type of study.

The study suggested that vitamin D had dizzying success, with a reduction of up to 80% in intensive care admissions and a reduction of up to 60% in deaths.

It was widely circulated on the internet. But he has since withdrawn because of "concerns about his safety," and Lancet magazine is now launching an investigation into the newspaper.

Vitamin D was given to entire wards, which often care for patients based on how sick they are, and was not given based on their condition. First, the patients with Covid who died had different levels of the vitamin, suggesting that they were more ill in the first place.

Conservative MP David Davis, who called on Parliament to send vitamin D to hospitals, told the BBC that despite the withdrawal, he believed the study showed vitamin D was important and argued the government should fund more research on it.

What is the damage?

When the results match the prevailing view, for example, that "natural things can not harm you," explained Prof. Sander Van der Linden, a social psychologist at Cambridge University - this makes them more likely to become more distracted.

And while natural health and alternative medicine go hand in hand and intertwine with each other, on the other side stand the ideologies of people against the vaccine.

"Vaccine people relate their theories to other topics such as religion, herbal and alternative medicine, the natural community," said Prof Van der Linden.

Vitamin D is relatively safe so it is worth noting that it is part of their list of not very harmful misinformation.

The danger, explains Prof Van der Linden, is when people suggest that the supplement is a miracle cure and should replace vaccines, masks and social distancing.
