Vitamin D is produced by sun contact. Being a shut in is the worst thing you can do for Covid. I wonder why the gov't enforced being kept out of the sun?
Because the government apparatus in most first world nations is ran by spineless unelected bureaucrats more concerned with keeping their job or making a buck than applying critical thinking to the situation. Elected politicians have neither the time nor the specific knowledge to understand the intricacies of this situation so they relied on those bureaucrats for information. Add to that a healthy dose of lobbying from the usual suspects, and that results in a chain of bad decisions that seems almost intentional but is most likely just a product of random events.
Also yeah, city slickers should take some sunshine breaks or something. Maybe pick up smoking so they have an excuse to go outside.
I love how manipulative it is, like how it drags on a second after she says "It'll change your DNA." Talking to some kinda attractive thot from Huffpo, using a woman in general, but they choose the wrong Journo to be the interviewer. That fat Irish guy is not good for the story. Get some young chick if you want to manipulate emotions that Gunpowder ape looks fucking terrible.

An obese Angloid man and some baby boomer are exactly the kinds of people you would expect. It would seem even more grifty and unrealistic if they had a gym bro shilling for them.

The issue is that you'd either want a youngish mother or someone young healthy looking talking to the hag, but the problem is that the hag doesn't strike me as someone who has had kids either, just a boomer who married someone who they could tolerate as long as they could leave the house. Once you get lockdown she probably realized she could divorce him with little issue if she said he was a crazy Alex Jones follower. Curious how that'll effect her health care.
lol Maybe not "cure" but definitely an essential part of health and survival. Who knew? Who could have possibly known that bolstering the immune system would be better than jabbing it with rushed, experimental, ineffective (at preventing transmission and infection from variants) and potentially dangerous (as admitted by CDC & FDA) gene therapy tech-derived vaccines?
INFODEMIC push is getting more absurd by the week. Half expect a Law and Order SVU episode to come out like during GamerGate. It'd start off with a vaccine mandate protest by racist mobs of Whites only for one of them to chase an innocent Black doctor down the street screaming, "Go home, vaxxy girl!" Then the anti-vax ISIS terrorists would rape the CDC president and Jake Paul would brandish a gun on a rooftop while saying how the freedom of the Internet has caused him to not know what's real and what's a conspiracy theory.
Gee, we really need more and stronger censorship of information. After all, we don't want anti-vax terrorists killing people with words! It's like a plague unto itself, this INFODEMIC--a virus if information that needs to be stopped! What we need is some kind of protection from it all, like a shield or wall--but digital, because it's on the Internet, so like some kind of really great firewall. Say, that's it! To stop this INFODEMIC and finally end the anti-vax virus, what we need is a great firewall for the Internet!
Not just causes it. The study stated it's a predictor of severe infection. Honestly this is medical fundamentals but yeah, Vit D is an essential part of a healthy immune system, deficiency of which has always been understood to be a sign of immune problems and warning of bad infection. The lower your Vit D the worse immunity you'll have overall. Shows something's wrong and you're susceptible. t. Sick guy who needs his Vit D specially supplemented because my immune problems
Still, it's great to see it in a study for Covid, especially for the people who parrot "trust the science" and yet never bothered with "science" before MSM daddies told them to care.
Vitamin D is produced by sun contact. Being a shut in is the worst thing you can do for Covid.
Everyone could and should supplement Vit D but catching a healthy amount of sunlight is the best. Also fresh air is healthy for the immune system, as is eating better. So basically the protracted lockdowns, the spiking food prices and the mask mandates are enforcing the literal opposite of what's best for our survival with Covid. That and the emphasis on vaccination instead of treatment.
I wonder why the gov't enforced being kept out of the sun?
Because they're retarded. They were retarded under Trump & Friends (ie most of the world) and they're thrice retarded under Biden & Friends, but what seemingly began with retardation quickly turned into a power-grab of unprecedented widespread scale you're not trusting the science. Shut up.

I was just looking at this, too! The whole fiasco is so outrageously bad it reads almost like a comedy skit. I suppose thiis how we get "the science" in certain circles these days. It's like the DMV meets Red Lobster. Just look at these excerpts from just the first couple paragraphs:
Dude seriously? What did they just get drunk and not remember they had queries to address?
"needles discarded in a plastic biohazard bag" Unholy hell I just imagine the staff being a bunch of slobs in lab coats fumbling with their keyboard, sloppily slapping zip-lock baggies together with their limp pig hooves, their stubby appendages numbed by the multiple used needles pricking into them and making them look like an enemy from The Suffering.
LOL So they were basically trying to pull a "pretend you clocked in early" kinda trick by inserting late data entries and not mentioning they were late? It's not even some kind of cool corporate espionage thing where they screw with the records because Pfizer is paying them under the table or something. It's just a bunch of lazy shitheads screwing up vital research studies to hide their bedhead.
Ventavia is deathly afraid of getting federal audits from the FDA for its Pfizer vaccine trials. That sounds like the trials are completely reliable and perfectly executed. Anyway, the FDA didn't do that. In fact, the FDA didn't do anything. They didn't even bother inspecting Ventavia after an emloyee filed a complaint. An employee. On this note:
"Targeting of Ventavia staff for reporting [...] problems"
Again, I envision one of the staff seeing all the biohazards and sleeping researchers before running to inform their superior. She tells him the data logs look about as refined as a toddler's Etch A Sketch, only to find the superior is laying face-down on the floor with an empty bottle of Maker's Mark an inch from his lips. His beady eyes unroll from the back of his head to glare at her as he angrily slurs, "Yeah well you look like a Bitch A Snitch" and then passes out again.
What's most concerning isn't that Pfizer outcourced the research to what I can only assume was the cheapest option they could find, but rather that the FDA did absolutely nothing to help with this even after being notified. Their inspection officer excused their inaction by saying they didn't have the data required to do it since the trials were still ongoing. However, this quagmire is where the data comes from to begin with, data used to inform decisions which will impact both legislature and human lives en masse.

Pfizer, which is recruiting volunteers through Fort Worth-based Ventavia Research Group, is looking for healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 85. Those who participate will receive two injections, 21 days apart. They will not know whether they received the actual two-dose vaccine or a placebo.
Moderna is also looking for healthy adults, especially those whose professions put them at high risk for developing COVID-19. The company is working with Global Medical Research in Dallas and Benchmark Research in Fort Worth to recruit volunteers. Eleven other research groups in Texas are also assisting in the Moderna vaccine trials.
Hotez cautions that even if a vaccine becomes available by the middle of next year, which he thinks is possible, it may not put an end to the COVID-19 crisis.
“Americans don’t have realistic expectations on what we can expect from these vaccines,” he said. “Hopefully, some of these vaccines would prevent the infection. However it’s also possible that some may be just partially protective. In that case, we’d still need to have ongoing public health control measures, like masks and contact tracing.”
The primary purpose of the KidCOVE Study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the study vaccine, called mRNA-1273, that may protect children between the ages of 6 months to < 12 years from getting sick if they come into contact with SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.
Moderna plans to enroll this study in two parts, staggering the recruitment of three different age groups. The first age group will start in children between the ages of 6 years to less than 12 years old. The second age group, recruiting later on, will be for children between the ages of 2 years to less than 6 years old. Finally, the third, and last group to start, will be for children ages 6 months to less than 2 years old. Please be aware that it may be several months before your child’s age group and/or a site near you opens.
There are still news stories floating around from 2020 about the shoddy TX trials the whistleblower talks about. Here's one from a local TX affiliate, with a local archive of the video. (Archive) (Note -- Ripping video from the Anvato player they use is beyond annoying, but it is possible.)
Ventavia Research Group is looking for women in their second trimester or the beginning of their third trimester to enroll in the study at their four Dallas-Fort Worth clinics.
The clinical trial will examine the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine on expectant mothers and how protective antibodies may be transferred to the baby.
"Participating in something like this, you're essentially a medical hero," Ventavia Research Group Chief Operating Officer Mercedes Livingston said. "These women are paving the way for potentially future moms to be able to receive this vaccine in pregnancy -- maybe routinely like we do with TDAP or flu."
Bates said expectant moms and those discussing pregnancy or considering fertility treatments should thoroughly discuss any vaccine concerns with their doctor.
Bates said out of the thousands of pregnant women who've received the vaccine to date, there have been no red flags for mother or baby.
"There's been no evidence of any trend. No evidence of increased miscarriage, no evidence of pregnancy loss or pregnancy complications, pre-term delivery so there's lots of reassuring data," Bates said.
Gotta admit, that montage made me laugh my ass off in hindsight.
Also @SCSI nicely done. Please do me a favor and copy-paste your post's text from BB code into a txt so I can upload it to the MEGA. When I update the OP with this Ventavia info I'll be linking to your post but I want the info preserved in the MEGA link too.
Same tech as the MMR shot I believe. Still an injection of spikes so similar symptoms but lower risks even if it's done by injection (because it's only one dose of spikes, not constant production from the body's cells). If it's done by nasal spray like some are saying, it'll be much safer and likely to satisfy the coof crusaders.

Thank you, and no problem, VentaviaNotes.txt is attached to this post for your convenience.
Otherwise, I have a gift for the hardcore stat nerds here tonight ( @Drain Todger , @borsabil , and @Pomme Poire Peche especially might enjoy this data hoard). I spent some quality time with cURL and dumped Gov.uk's "National Covid 19 Surveillance Reports". These are the source of the interesting UK pandemic stats that have been getting discussed lately over in the Covid Megathread in Happenings, and have been helpful in picking out different trends in who's getting sick, how sick, and how these numbers break down in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated groups. Now, which one(s) did I collect for you all?
All of them, up to and including the most recent 2021 Week 43 that they just posted the other day. I also grabbed the small set of reports that were grouped in with the usual series that had intriguing things in their title like "Contain_framework_lower_tier_local_authority_watchlist". Those were all from 2020, none seem to be from 2021.
Total file count is 202. Filetypes are predominantly PDFs, with a few dozen Excel spreadsheets. Early on, the UK govt was providing these as 1-2 PDF reports with a separate companion spreadsheet, before consolidating everything into a single PDF and also standardizing the naming conventions.

I know Israel's also been intensively tracking stats since early 2020, and I'd like to dump those as well at some point, if a repo like the UK's exists.

The datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than just a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/mL to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.
To be fair, that isn't entirely accurate. It's very easy to get a massive spike in recorded infections by increasing the number of tests. It doesn't necessarily mean there's a sudden epidemic, it just means they've widened the net to scoop up significantly more cases of Covid, as the vast majority of them are mild to asymptomatic.
It's become a standard pattern in most countries that have eased restrictions or lockdown over the past year, because that went hand in hand with tests-for-entry for restaurants, bars, events for the unvaccinated. I'm not too familiar with the Australian approach apart from the ocassional horror story, but I imagine it mirrors the example. A 70% rate of vaccination is relatively low compared to other countries, and you can guarantee that that percentage drops significantly in the lower age brackets. The same group of people most likely to go out and about and mingle with people, and therefore more likely to both catch Covid and be subjected to regular testing. The same group of peoole that would be sitting at home or going out illegally anyway when lockdown was in effect, in either case not getting tested then. Another thing to consider is that under-18s don't count for calculating the vaxx-percentage, but recorded covid cases among them are tallied to the total, so this skews the numbers as well.
What is apparant from the graph is that total number of infections doesn't say much, especially now that leaky vaccines which mitigate symptoms have become the norm. You'd expect cases to rise, just not serious ones, which should be the point of government policy. It's far better to look at ICU cases of coofers, preferably with information on whether they actually showed severe Covid symptoms. If you made a graph of that and it had the same numbers on it as the one you posted, then that is a definite sign there's something deeply fucking wrong.
So all those boomers saying sunshine would prevent the coof were right?
J-jack Scalfani, I kneel. Because you sure as fuck can't.

That's bizarre, especially if it's been in constant linear growth since the summer. Not the pattern you tend to see elsewhere, where a government responds to a spike with a few restrictions and it levels off relatively fast.
Can you give a quick rundown of Australian covid regulations over the past few months? It's always a fucking headache trying to find that sorta stuff because the actual information is buried under a mountain of media fearbait and speculation.
