In the population of US veterans, we show that Vitamin D2 and D3 fills were associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection of 28% and 20%, respectively [(D3 Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.80, [95% CI 0.77, 0.83]), D2 HR = 0.72, [95% CI 0.65, 0.79]]. Mortality within 30-days of COVID-19 infection was similarly 33% lower with Vitamin D3 and 25% lower with D2 (D3 HR = 0.67, [95% CI 0.59, 0.75]; D2 HR = 0.75, [95% CI 0.55, 1.04]). We also find that after controlling for vitamin D blood levels, veterans receiving higher dosages of Vitamin D obtained greater benefits from supplementation than veterans receiving lower dosages.
The statistical analysis showed that Vitamin D3 supplementation was associated with a 33% lower risk of COVID-19 infection ending in mortality within 30 days, the study noted.
Public health authorities around the world suppressed scientific evidence that Vitamin D deficiency was associated with severe Covid outcomes, and furthermore, some officials misled the public about alleged studies showing the vitamin did nothing for treating the viral infection.
However, it is unknown if treatment with Vitamin D can reduce the associated risk of COVID-19 infection, which is the focus of this study.
A Nature report published in mid-November called the Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality is cause for concern for lockdown proponents.
Experts have for months been calling for officials to look into the immune system-boosting nutrient's effect on Covid-19 patients after a mountain of research showed a link to vitamin D deficiency, the report added.
Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation.
