I have removed a very long comment by Robin Whittle because it was inappropriate for a comment; it was just an attempt to publish her own work and added nothing critical to my article promoting use of vitamin D.
I wrote to link to the most pertinent research which supports your support for vitamin D. There's too much to put in a comment, so I linked to my sites.
If any reader wishes more detail about Vitamin D, then I most strongly recommend reading the materials published by Mr. Robin Whittle on his substack, "Nutrition Matters". I have read much of it, and it is so valuable. It is far, far more detailed than anything I have encountered to date on the subject, and, it is very well structured and organized, making it easy to navigate. I also inquired with some other orthomolecular medicine experts, and they affirmed that yes, they knew of Mr. Whittle's work in writing about vitamin D & COVID, and in fact have been working cooperatively with him. Because my profession was as an engineer of systems, I very much appreciate Mr. Whittle's approach to his research and reporting -- it fits me to a tee! ;-) No wonder -- Mr. Whittle, always humble, by the way -- describes himself as "electronic technician and computer programmer".
Mr. Hirschhorn, thank you so very much for all of *your* important reporting in the 'Pandemic Blunder Newsletter'. :-)
Big fan of Vitamin D with Quercetin and Zinc. I take a good multi too covering Vit. C. Have been following this Dr. Zelenko protocol for well over a year. Haven't had so much as a sniffle.
I have taken Dr. Zelenko's covid 19 prevention protocol for the past 2 yrs. (10,000 iu Vitamin D3, 50mg. Zinc, 2000mg. Vit. C daily and then 1 single dose 200mg. Ivermectin weekly) I have terminal cancer for 7yrs., chemo treatment gave me double pnuemonia, Dr.'s treated me with prednesone which gave me diabetes, then treating me with 4 injections of insulin daily. Before leaving hospital I also received Covid infection with no symptoms. My Dr. said I was very lucky to walk out alive. Having Jesus care for me and strengthening the immune system he gave us. Vitamin D3 ++++ just proved it.
For those with newly diagnosed CANCER: altering one's diet over, say, a 6-to-8-week period toward a ketogenic diet regimen can get you better prepared for the rigors of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The side effects of Chemo/Radio can often be rather daunting - even terrible. While shifting toward keto, take the time to do "homework" on the issue of "The Standard American Diet" versus Keto/"modified Adkins"/"high fat-low carb" .... there's now RELIABLE evidence that a period of fasting or "keto-push" just before chemotherapy reduces noticeably the post-chemotherapy funk... as a minimum, while "I was pleasantly surprised" is a more common response by such patients, Apparently, now some cancer centers are encouraging ketogenic lifestyle as part of some cancer treatment protocols. Your mileage may vary.. I am retired with an MD degree without significant hands-on clinical experience; my wife is also retired now, after decades of experience as a radiation oncologist.
In a social scientific policy context, see the following intriguing discussion, rather recently posted as a blog entry at a dedicated blog site of The London School of Economics and Political Science. The author, Daniele Fanelli (LSE), seeks an answer to the following question: "Are public health policies keeping up with shifting scientific consensus? The case of vitamin D."

Bob K, thanks for the positive, supportive statement about Robin Whittle. Do we see his handiwork at not only " nutritionmatters.substack.com " but also "VitaminDStopsCovid.info" ?
Yes, indeed -- thanks, Larry!

I’ve been taking 5,000 IU per day for over 2.5 years and haven’t even had a cold.
Please share your use of or thoughts about taking vitamin K-2 with D3 supplementation. Thank You
I have no information on K-2 in combination with D3.

The second liink worked; I strongly recommend everyone reads it; Fauci takes 6,000 D units daily but never told the public to do the same!
