Very suspicious. The lead author of the first study cited in the article is from the Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center which promotes Vitamin D. They are funded by Bio-Tech Pharmacal which sells Vitamin D. At the bottom of the linked article there are links to order expensive test kits for Vitamin D from the company of four of the other authors. Two of the other three authors do not have any company or institution listed. Furthermore, the study was published in the journal Nutrients which is published by MDPI: Until September 2018, the editor-in-chief was Jonathan Buckley of the University of South Australia. In 2018, Buckley and the other nine senior members of the editorial board resigned, claiming that MDPI "pressured them to accept manuscripts of mediocre quality and importance"The actual data on Vitamin D and Covid-19 cited in the article is from an unpublished paper. I looked it over and found a possible major flaw. So although Vitamin D might be helpful in Covid-19 cases, don't use this article as evidence, especially if Trump starts promoting it.

i've always been a big vitamin C fan and i admit that i'm taking more now, though i'm sure there's no science indicating it's especially helpful in combatting covid. my thought is that the stronger your immune system, the better, no matter what, right? also, as i understand it, you can't take too much, you just urinate out any excess. but i'm no doctor. is there a real doctor in the house?

I used to megadose vitamin C and E. Haven't taken any vitamin supplements in years. If you eat healthy, you really don't need supplements. Now, if I could only convince myself to eat healthy.
