While (as I wrote in that blog post) none of this is all that strong, but it really doesn't seem markedly weaker than the evidence for masking.

Causal inference and strength of evidence (again, this is my wheelhouse) is extremely nuanced and complex. It may not "seem" weaker, but it is, in fact, extremely weak to the point of irrelevance. Gotta stop here, sorry.

I'd say that Noah's original point, that all the evidence for Vit D is entirely explicable through the research being flawed in design, still holds perfectly true despite the increase in the number of studies

I assumed as much. But you're against mask mandates right? That seems wronger to me, but more consistent.

Oh, I could be wrong about that. If so, why do you have different evidentiary standards for vitamin D and cloth masks?

I assumed that's the case since you are all like "we need a large double blind RCT before taking small doses of vitamin D"
