Yes, vitamin D has shown some benefit in reducing the severity of upper respiratory infection from both viruses and bacteria but it won’t prevent you from contracting COVID-19 or becoming a symptomatic or a asymptomatic spreader of the virus. And yes, survival rate is near 99% but merely surviving should not be the only goal.
I have a close acquaintance who’s been dealing with lingering respiratory and cognitive effects from the virus for six months now. She’s an otherwise fit, athletic and healthy 35 year old living a reduced quality of life after surviving the virus.
New data out of Israel where over 50% of the population has now been vaccinated has shown very promising results. 85% reduction in symptomatic cases after only one dose and 94% reduction after two doses and huge reduction in both symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission of the virus which is potentially a pandemic ending result if enough people are vaccinated.
If you’re afraid of the relatively new technology of mRNA vaccines then get the J&J vaccine that uses a more traditional method of vaccine development which has nearly eradicated polio, measles, mumps and rubella.
I would just encourage everyone to be part of the solution so we can move on from this pandemic.
