'A recent German study concluded anyone with a vitamin D level over 50 has a 0% death rate -ZERO! '
lol, which study is that Joe? Or rather, you didnt read the study but got this tasty headline off twitter/instagram? Did a little digging as the headline is so outrageous
here's the actual study, and it aint a study (with participants that is) , but rather a meta-analysis lol (fancy name for a pooling of available actual studies )
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8541492/
the title is cartoonish;
few highlights
"5. Limitations
This study does not question the vital role that vaccination will play in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Nor does it claim that in the case of an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, a high boost of 25(OH)D3 is or could be a helpful remedy when vitamin D deficiency is evident, as this is another question. Furthermore, empirical data on COVID-19 mortality for vitamin D3 blood levels above 35 ng/mL are sparse."
sparse data @ 35ng/ml? lol
"6. Conclusions
Therefore, based on our data, the authors strongly recommend combining vaccination with routine strengthening of the immune system of the whole population by vitamin D3 supplementation to consistently guarantee blood levels above 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L). From a medical point of view, this will not only save many lives but also increase the success of vaccination. . ."
So the study u r liking is advocating boosting the body's immune system by taking the Vax and improving Vit D levels ?
Joe, dont be such a sucker for a catchy headline,

COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, and a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
'theoretically'? lol .........again there was no actual participants (@ 50ng/ml) , no control group . They are extrapolatingfew highlights
