Before you volunteer to be a human guinea pig for the new emergency use bivalent COVID booster, you might want to consider this. There’s a prophylactic treatment available that is showing a lot of promise. It only costs a few bucks, and you can buy it almost anywhere.
It’s called vitamin D3.
I know we’ve covered a few studies here and there, but the research supporting increased vitamin D blood levels has grown into a nearly unstoppable freight train.
The evidence is not thin or reedy. It is robust and growing.
“The finding that most SARS-CoV-2 patients admitted to hospitals have vitamin D3 blood levels that are too low is unquestioned even by opponents of vitamin D supplementation.” The German study “followed 1,601 hospitalized patients, 784 who had their vitamin D levels measured within a day after admission and 817 whose vitamin D levels were known before infection. And the researchers also analyzed the long-term average vitamin D3 levels documented for 19 countries. The observed median vitamin D value over all collected study cohort
Joel Hirschhorn lists a number of these studies in his piece.
- The recent German research quoted above is here.
- [An] important US medical article from May 2021: Vitamin D and Its Potential Benefit for the COVID-19 Pandemic.
- There are now 142 studies vouching for the near-perfect correlation between higher vitamin D levels and better outcomes in COVID patients.
- From Israel came work that showed 25% of hospitalized COVID patients with vitamin D deficiency died compared to just 3% among those without a deficiency
- Also from Israel, data on 1,176 patients with COVID infection admitted to the Galilee Medical Center, 253 had vitamin D levels on record and half were vitamin D-deficient.
- Several studies have come from the University of Chicago. … more than 80% of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were vitamin D deficient.
- Studies have shown that people hospitalized with low levels but given the active form of D did not progress to the ICU.
- Unfortunately, about 42% of the US population is vitamin D deficient with some populations having even higher levels of deficiency.”
The response from the Public Health Industrial Complex?
NIH maintains that “There is insufficient evidence to recommend either for or against the use of vitamin D for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.”
That probably means Vitamin D works, but even if it does not, at least it won’t give you myocarditis or the thousand (1,291) natural shocks that flesh is heir to after receiving the so-called COVID vaccines.
And with winter coming, natural D from sunlight will be reduced, especially for people of color.

Note 2: Salmon, canned Tuna, Egg Yolks, Mushrooms, and Herring, as well as some cereals and oatmeal, are reputed to be good food sources of vitamin D.
