Sure thing. There's some correlative research, but it has very significant limitations. For example, in the Indonesian study the 'normal' Vit D group were much healthier in every way than either the insufficient or deficient groups, and a the statistical analysis barely...

...corrected for this at all. Importantly, age was apparently dichotomized, which is a very unfortunate choice. Generally speaking, what we've got is extremely preliminary evidence that there ~might~ be some sort of effect, but no hard data to support such a conclusion...

You're clueless - but that's okay too. Just be careful about misleading people - that can be problematic... ;-)

Let's put it this way - if you find this evidence convincing, you're probably also strongly behind the notion that fat causes people to get sick and die? Because I can assure you that hypothesis - wrong though it may be - is MUCH better supported by evidence

For someone who doesn't like correlational research, you sure seem to rely ENTIRELY on it when it suits you

You are irredeemably clueless - you can't even figure out when it's relevant and when it's not - or anywhere in between. Please go away....

You're the one commenting on my tweets mate. But let me put it this way - if you have a study looking at the causal relationship between Vit D and COVID-19 fatality I'd love to see it. Seriously. So far, I've seen nothing that even approaches that

Correlational comment without a full understanding of vitamin D metabolism and dynamics is worthless. I know just by your tweets that you have no clue of the actual underlying science and bischemistry. So your comment on the correlations is meaningless.pic.twitter.com/vyeHvi5qp7

Watch this at least so that u can comment on adipose tissue correlations in the future get an appreciation at least for the vast science of metabolism underlying. Appreciate that commenting on correlations - shouldn't be done without mechanistic expertisehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qRCA08oblQ …

I'd argue that commenting on epidemiological research shouldn't be done without some understanding of statistics and causal inference tbh. Mechanisms are wonderful, but around 95%+ of them fail when tested in RCTs

Sounds like you've got a great CV to run a lab, not so much to interpret epidemiological evidence. Probably worth doing an introductory course in epi and causal inference at some point Farewell!
