Casual Observer 597 Posted January 5, 2023 8 minutes ago, TimHauck said: There you go quibbling (and lying) again. I never said there were 1.1 million excess deaths. I said there were 1.1 million if you define it as the change vs the 2015-2019 average, which most people don’t. Here was my statement regarding HEART ATTACKS specifically: “it might be true that there have been 1.1 heart attack deaths.” “Might be true” first of all indicates I wasn’t sure. And I said heart attack, not “sudden cardiac arrest,” I guess you haven’t read the Damar Hamlin thread to learn that heart attack and cardiac arrest aren’t the same thing. And regardless, congratulations you have now successfully moved the goalposts to another universe. I made the heart attack statement as a joke, because that was the only way their claim could be close to true. BUT THAT’S NOT AT ALL WHAT THE ARTICLE WAS TALKING ABOUT, so this argument is pointless (as are all arguments with you but I digress). Slaynews.com is a fake news site. You're a fake news site, so you shouldn't be pointing fingers at anyone else. Again, I didn't post that article. When you are trapped like a rat, like you are now, you backtrack and resort to attempts to re-define terms, hedge what you clearly stated, etc. A sudden cardiac arrest is a focking heart attack that resulted in death, especially in taking the American Heart Association stats I cited above. The only joke here is you. You constantly and shamelessly lie in your attempts to mislead people. You do this all day long, like someone is paying you to do it, too. You've been shown to be full of shite numerous times now, including this one. Shut up, sit down and find an actual job instead of this bullshit on fantasy football message boreds. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not crazy about Makary but that article was pretty fair. Only thing I disagree with that he wrote is he claims there was a “conclusive study last month showing Vitamin D reduces Covid mortality.” I assume he’s referring to this: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4 But that’s just an “association” (correlation and not necessarily causation and acknowledges possible confounders), and was not significant for Vitamin D2, only D3, and even that figure was far less effective than the vaccine despite some touting Vitamin D as a supplement for the vaccine. I dunno, just reading the abstract, Vitamin D looks pretty darn helpful to me, significantly reducing both infection and morbidity. Yes it was observational, but there are a lot of samples: Quote Vitamin D deficiency has long been associated with reduced immune function that can lead to viral infection. Several studies have shown that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increases the risk of infection with COVID-19. 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. 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. Veterans with Vitamin D blood levels between 0 and 19 ng/ml exhibited the largest decrease in COVID-19 infection following supplementation. Black veterans received greater associated COVID-19 risk reductions with supplementation than White veterans. As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course I'm not surprised that Vitamin D helps, as we've discussed multiple times before. Even helps more with black people, who tend to be more Vitamin D deficient.

Well the larger point IMO is we don’t know how much of the 30% is due to the confounding factors, and thus I think it’s a stretch for Makary to call it “conclusive evidence.” But yes, I do agree and have said previously that there could have been more research into things like over the counter items that may have helped, rather than just tell people to drink some Gatorade and come back if you can’t breathe. This of course goes back to 2020 and thus has nothing to do with any “effective treatments were intentionally suppressed because they were all in on the vax” conspiracies. And it’s not like they did nothing, HCQ was of course proven ineffective while dexamethasone a cheap generic was proven effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
