About the Vit D study in the Boston Herald

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0239252

This is the Vitamin D study that the Boston Herald wrote about - it is
a very simple study actually - they looked at 190,000 covid tests run
by Quest labs between March 9 2020 and June 19 2020 - 9.3% of the
tests were positive for COVID -

Next they matched these results to Vitamin D tests that had been run
on the same patients in the previous year - the analysis shows a
strong relationship between Vit D and sickness - those who had very
low levels of Vit D in their blood were 12% positive for COVID - those
with adequate Vit D were 8% positive for COVID - those with max Vit D
levels were 6% positive for COVID

I am not a stable statistics genius - but it seems to me that if you
want to cut your COVID risk in half, you should try to get adequate
Vit D in your bloodstream
