Vitamin D is essential for the human body to fight SARS-COV-2 [Laderoute M, Trained immunity involving HERV-K102 activation my promote recovery from COVID-19 providing a new vaccination paradigm against pandemic RNA viruses ( submitted) ]. There are two types of foamy macrophages the lipid body negative, highly vacuolated MI like proinflammatory macrophages (LB-FMs) which produce the HERV-K102 particles and the lipid body positive (oil red o strongly positive)M2 like anti-inflammatory macrophages (LB+FMs). Many viruses and other intracellular pathogens [Dias SSG et al, PLoS Pathogens, 2020; Wu X et al., Microbiol Pathog 2021; Cho HJ et al , BMC Infect Dis 2020] infect the protector LB-FM and convert them to the LB+FM to knock out the HERV-K102 protector system. Vitamin D deficiency promotes this conversion favoring the invading viruses and pathogens which is exacerbated with diabetes [Oh J et al, Circulation 2009]. Only the LB-FMs and its immediate precursors exhibit a highly active VDR signalling pathway of the 66 different cell types identified in BALF from severe patients [Ren X et al., Cell, 2021]. Yes, vitamin D is vital to survival!

Vitamin D, adopted as a non-toxic alternative to problematic Covid19 (C19) injections. clearly qualifies as a superior "toxics-use reduction" option. It is everywhere as widely available and cost free as the summer sun. In terms of rich dietary sources, Vitamin D can be produced as inexpensively and easily as homemade mushroom tea.

New scare tactics aside i.e. 'new variant'!! There is NO such thing as immunity from these shots, non whatsoever!!! From what I've seen of effects & illness of friends and family, those who've had 3 shots have fallen ill, some very ill from the 3rd shot & some have had several bouts of COVID, which have been worse each time. No I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it takes a doctor to come to a conclusion that these shots are a. NOT vaccines (stop infection & spread) & b. provide ANY immunity. Vitamin D, C, Zinc & quercitin are great to boost your immune system, especially if you've had these shots!!!

We've known since April 2020 that people taking plaquenil had almost no cases of COVID.

I advise 5000Iu/d of vitamin-D, except for those well over 200# and/or without a gallbladder, then 10,000IU/d. Checking levels is good. I take the dose i advise and my last 2 levels, years apart were 78 and 83. drjohnsblog.substack.com

Regarding 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, as needed for proper immune system function, how most unsupplemented people have 1/10 to 1/2 of this, how for 70 kg 154 lb body-weight, 0.125 5000 IU vitamin D3 a day is needed (for several months) to attain this and how to boost the level safely over 50 ng/mL in 4 hours with a single oral dose of calcifediol (which is 25-hydroxyvitamin D), please see Prof. Sunil Wimalawansa's recent article: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2997, the research articles cited at:https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ .
