<aside> 💡 TLDR: Go buy a $30 bottle of Vitamin D gummies, and take one every morning

</aside>

Evidence

1. A randomized control trial gave 50 Covid patients Vitamin D, with 26 people as control.
   • Of the 50, 1 was admitted to ICU, and survived.
   • Of the 26, 13 were admitted to ICU, and 2 died.
   • More details
2. Lots of correlational studies on Covid infection risk and severity
   • Published meta-analysis of 141 articles
   • Very readable, bullet-point summary
   • Some papers I read myself
3. Fauci takes 6000 IU of Vitamin D each day!

Action

Austin believes Vitamin D is likely to reduce Covid infection risk and severity. Also: Vitamin D is well-studied, cheap, and has a variety of moderate health benefits.

Austin is now taking 2500 IUs of Vitamin D supplements, aka 1 of these gummies every morning. (They're pretty tasty.) He encourages you to do the same, and especially to inform anyone who is high-risk or literally has Covid.

• Why 2500 IU?
