    Can Vitamin D treat #COVID19? Nope. This very well designed clinical trial demonstrated that vitamin D "did not significantly reduce hospital length of stay or any other clinically-relevant outcomes compared with placebo." Finally some good data. https://bit.ly/3otTcKL  pic.twitter.com/Gqrlhi03xz

        My guess is the vitamin D level/Covid outcomes is just a proxy for a healthier lifestyle (diet, exercise, sun exposure, healthcare access, etc).

        I asked some of my science nerd friends about this and the word on the street is that this is some evidence but way less conclusive than Isaac makes it out to be.https://twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1336134220599734272 …

        Even though some of those science nerds are my friends too, I am waiting on discussions between professional scientists and clinicians. The TWiV folks will probably discuss it in the next week or so

        There are some things to consider for example vitamin D takes a while to reach high levels in your bloodstream when administered orally. There is a form of it that can be administered intravenously and reach high levels faster
