#vitaminD

In a show of defiance against hundreds of respected journal studies showing the benefits of vitamin D for human health, Canada’s Minister of Health, Patty Hajdu, has taken the stand that any news supporting vitamin supplementation for fighting COVID is “*fake news.*”

Plus, Health Canada’s website now shows that “*most Canadians are getting enough vitamin D and doesn’t actively recommend supplementing*” — a claim that brought criticism and a few questions from one Canadian MP, Derek Sloan.

Studies have shown that 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients had vitamin D deficiencies. Even so, Ms. Hajdu “*dismissed a question about how vitamin D supplements may help prevent illnesses like COVID-19,”* the Toronto Sun reported Sunday.

Also interesting, the Sun added, is that “*the United Kingdom’s public health department does recommend vitamin D supplements during the winter months and even offered free supplements to people who were considered at high risk of COVID-19.*”

*“But instead, Ms. Hajdu’s knee-jerk reaction was to condescendingly reject the question and accuse Sloan of spreading ‘fake news.’ This has become an unfortunate habit of our health minister,*” the Sun said.

This is news to me as everything that I have studied over the years says vitamin D is a must for good health plus that it may well be a preventative measure against contracting COVID-19.
