The failure to recommend vitamin D3 was one of the most glaring early red flags to me that this psy-op had *nothing* to do with health and everything to do with mass control and depopulation.
Very revealingly (and disturbingly), when Dr. Pierre Kory’s op-ed on “Pfizer’s State of the Union Address” was published in the Washington Examiner, they excised the portions about vitamin D:

Thank you for this information. For several years my husband and I had taken the flu shot because his employer had a health fair where they offered blood tests , flu shots and mammograms . We would get the flu shot and 2 weeks later we would get the flu. We stopped taking them and haven’t had the flu since. We have taken vitamin D3 and vitamin C for years. So when the Covid vaccine came around we said no thank you. When we got Covid from one of my voice students who was spraying me with Covid . I was hardly sick and had a fever for 1/2 a day. I attribute this to taking my vitamins. My mom gave me vitamin D pills growing up calling them the sunshine vitamin. If I got a cold it was usually mild. My friend would get a cold and she got very sick for a lot longer then my cold. I know vitamin D3 works and I’m grateful to a mother who knew vitamins were important. It is a crime against humanity and all about power and money.
Been taking 10,000 IU every day since I heard from Dr Malone and others to do so. So far, no problems with the virus. Same applies to my wife.
Many others that we had shared the advice with did NOT heed our suggestion and they’ve suffered from the virus, some of them twice and MANY OF THEM are/were ‘double vax’d and boosted’ as they say.
Personal Thoughts: This virus fiasco needs to find its way to the court system of the USA and punishment doled out accordingly. Hopefully this would go global as well since a good portion of the planet followed the lead and ‘advice’ of US authorities. It’s an atrocious situation with far reaching and deadly consequences, including over 6.2 MILLION DEATHS worldwide.
Just 2000 IU/day resulted in a 17-38% reduction in incidence for normal body-weight people.
What would 5000 IU do? Or that 50 ng/ml level? Or with dosage increased for the obese? They did their best and under-dosed people (2000 IU?) for the trial. It still showed a benefit.
What's the hit to Pharma & Sickcare for chopping cancer incidence (say) in half?
Can you imagine if vitamin D had been widely distributed, and the very next year, cancer incidence got cut in half? How many Pharma companies would have gone under? How many cancer centers? It would have been a financial disaster.
While there is ample evidence stretching over decades that Fauci is basically a demon in human guise, this article is damning on such a simple level that none of the rest is needed. Imagine if every citizen in the US starting taking an appropriate D3 supplement in January, 2020? How many lives saved? At what cost? $3.00 per life? Instead, a criminal cabal, led by Fauci, looted the world.
Years ago I worked with a holistic style nutritionist who insisted I get my D levels in order and checked yearly for bone health (the biphosphonate drugs are another rabbit hole ) and I listened and tried to tell friends who would listen. When the C virus came and early information pointed to morbidity linked to low D3 levels it was a mystery to me that people were not talking about their D levels-only their vax status. Silly me. It quickly became clear and even more so after reading RFK Jrs book...... ps Dr Malone the Epoch times paper version had a nice article about farriers a few weeks ago. They are another good source for health/nutrition topics as well. Thank you and Dr Jill many times over :)))
Great one today. My wife and I were fortunate to learn about Vitamin D3 before Covid appeared and we both take 5000 IU daily. Last October I had my annual “wellness “ visit with my doctor and among other things I mentioned how much D3 I took daily and she told me to cut it back to 2000 IU daily, advise I did not follow. Taking D3 goes way beyond Covid and I will pass this on. Thank you!

I first became aware of how important vitamin D was with respect to covid from a Daily Mail online article in Oct. 2020. The article titled 'More proof vitamin D cuts your risk of getting severely ill with covid' cited a study by University of Cantabria researchers of Santander. If I remember, they weren't sure whether covid caused vitamin D levels to drop or if low vitamin D levels lead to severe disease but for me, there was enough evidence there that I immediately upped my vitamin D intake.
I also read the excellent article that you, Dr. Malone cited by Borsche et al.
Yes, it is a crime that this information is not shouted from the roof tops by public health officials.
Believe it or not, I've shared this information with as many people as I could but the reaction of the majority of my friends was 'oh, that's nice' but they still don't take vitamin D or they only take about 1,000 IU. I even sent it to my local bishop and to the apostolic nuncio for my country in the hopes that the church would drop it's support for vaccine mandates given vitamin D is God given, vaccines tainted by abortion, not so much. Crickets.
Thank you Dr. Malone for shining the spot light on vitamin D.
I owe a huge debt to my PA, Mary Jo, and to my endocrinologist, Dr. Crawford. Mary Jo, who recently retired, was the most thorough primary care practitioner I have ever seen. She checked my Vit D levels over 20 years ago and discovered I didn't show a trace in the blood work. She started me on 50,000IU/week of D2. Dr. Crawford boosted me to 150,000/IU/D2/week and I have been taking that ever since. I get my levels checked twice yearly. I also follow the FLCCC.net protocols and recommend them to everyone.
Dr. Fauci should be brought up on charges of malfeasance, at the least. He is personally responsible for the debaucle we have gone through. What would explain this? Is he stupid? Is it the patents and money from the pharma companies? The truth is slowly trickling out.
Senator Rand Paul was on top of this from the beginning and did some hard questioning. Thank God we have him in the Senate.

Thank you for this excellent synthesis.
In the matter of what today is perceived as viral illness, one can only wonder about the lessons of scurvy, it's discovery and belated general acceptance nearly 100 years later.
What if. What if what today we call viral illness is otherwise a pernicious deficit in the pro hormone Vitamin D?
What if viral illness onset is to Vitamin D what scurvy is to Vitamin C?
This doesn't impeach the utility of vaccines. The modality of vaccination holds great promise as the technology advances.
It does expose the folly of inculcated rational materialism and follies of dogma that spawns in modern science. What is rational materialism in this context but an excuse to stop looking; a refusal to see.
Few things can be more unhelpful or more dangerous than a premature concretization.
I recommend to everyone I know (including my small Rumble audience) to take 10,000 iu of Vitamin D3 daily. And to seek blood levels of Vitamin D3 closer to 100 ng/mL. (For my levels to get that high, I find that I myself have to take 15,000 iu of Vitamin D3 daily.)
On an anecdotal basis, everyone in my circle who has taken my advice on this virtually never gets the flu or colds... or Covid. That was not the case before the levels of Vitamin D3 were increased to these levels. I and others were taking, at most, 800 iu of Vitamin D3 and getting a cold (or flu) pretty much every year!
I’m 68 years old and am not at all afraid of Covid or any other respiratory illness. I could see right from the get-go that lockdowns, masks, etc. were the stupidest thing ever, so fortunately I never got the jab (even before I learned of its horrific adverse effects) because I was so disgusted with the whole charade.
BTW, I used to take the flu vaccine every year (got a bad case of the flu in 2008) but since this Covid madness I’ve been learning a lot about the issue of vaccines in general. I’m a TOTAL anti-vaxxer now.
“People (and physicians) rely on the CDC and NIH to guide them in healthcare and wellness decisions.”
Is that really true? Because, as a layman, I don’t think I’ve ever trusted the CDC enough to rely on them as.
I remember, even pre-COVID, making sure to never to click on CDC articles that popped up online whenever I did a symptom search.
I also recall deliberately declining random blood tests from two different doctors for different viruses that the CDC was researching, in 2016 and 2018, because I did not wish to assist any government in health research. It felt creepy to me at the time--Guess how creepy it feels to me now!
Thanks for highlighting the importance of 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) for proper immune system function. Proof of this includes the graph from Quraishi et al. 2014, which shows increasing levels of hospital acquired and wound site infections the more the pre-operative 25(OH)D level is below 50 ng/mL.
See the Quraishi et al. graph and other research articles cited at: "What every MD, immunologist, virologist and epidemiologist should know about vitamin D and the immune system" https://vitamindstopscovid.info/05-mds/ .
Most doctors do not realise is that without proper vitamin D supplementation(0.125 mg 5000 IU/day for 70 kg bodyweight = is a gram every 22 years, and it costs USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory), most people's circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D level is 1/2 to 1/10th of the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L their immune system needs to function properly.
The most important early treatment for COVID-19 or any acute medical condition in which the immune system needs to work properly, for all those who have 25-hydroxyvitamin D well below 50 ng/mL, is a single oral dose of (very approximately) 0.014 mg calcifediol per kg bodyweight, which is 1 mg for average weight adults. Calcifediol _is_ 25-hydroxyvitamin D. It goes straight into circulation, raising the blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D level safely over 50 ng/mL in 4 hours. Bolus vitamin D3 (such as 10 mg 400,000 IU) takes, very approximately, 4 days to achieve this. 0.125mg vitamin D3 a day takes several months, on average. https://nutritionmatters.substack.com/p/calcifediol-to-boost-25-hydroxyvitamin
This is now part of the FLCCC's MATH+ hospital treatment protocol: https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/math-plus-protocol/ "Use as early as possible in persons with COVID-19, sepsis, Kawasaki disease, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, burns, and vitamin D deficiency in early pregnancy or other clinical emergencies. Measurement of the concentration of serum 25(OH)D is not necessary.
Healthy daily vitamin D3 intakes such as 0.125mg 5000 IU/day (70 kg bodyweight) take several months to raise 25(OH)D levels safely over 50 ng/mL from typical unsupplemented levels of 10 to 20 ng/mL.
Proper vitamin D3 supplementation would prevent almost all sepsis (which kills about 10 million people a year worldwide: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(19)32989-7/fulltext) and reduce the incidence of and/or severity of numerous cancers and other chronic and acute diseases. Pre-eclampsia is another common condition of excessive inflammation which is associated with low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. All these inflammatory disorders are surely caused, to a significant degree, by lack of helminths: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/#02-helminths . Low 25(OH)D levels exacerbate the situation since immune cells can not respond to their changing circumstances properly with such low levels. See Chauss et al. 2021 - summary and link: https://aminotheory.com/cv19/icu/#2021-Chauss . Higher than 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D can suppress the symptoms of many auto-immune inflammatory disorders, including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, cluster headaches and migraine: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/#01-higher .
If even a fraction of the diseases mentioned at https://vitamindwiki.com would be less of a problem with proper vitamin D3 supplementation, then the modest effort in attaining this, voluntarily, through government supported education and funding for the supplements themselves is well worth it. The supplements should be made by private industry, not the government - though the government should support quality testing of all such products.
There's very little vitamin D3 in food or multivitamins. It can be generated in the skin via UV-B exposure, but this always damages DNA and so raises the risk of skin cancer. Such UV-B is only available to most people in the middle of the day, in summer, without any clouds or intervening glass, clothing or sunscreen. UV-B is clearly not the way to get all the vitamin D3 we need - especially for those with dark skin and/or sun-avoidant clothing and lifestyles. It is impossible to fortify food with vitamin D3 in a way which ensures most people get enough. Supplementation - such as every day, week or probably up to 10 days - is the only practical way of attaining proper 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
My father was a pharmacist for all of his adult life. He passed away in 2005 from lymphoma. My mother was a surgical nurse. She retired around 2001. During my father's cancer battle I remember him saying to me that there was too much money in "treating" cancer for there to be much incentive in "curing" cancer.
Hello? McFly? Seeing the parallels? Can you spell Remdesivir? Vaccinate and Annually Boost the Planet?
Neither my father nor my mother were anti-Pharma people, but I think as my dad aged, he began to see the dark side of the industry more and more. I'm thankful he was not practicing when COVID was on the scene because he likely would have lost his license. He was the kind of man that would have filled the Ivermectin and HCQ prescriptions even if it meant defying the elites. My mother has been steadfast as well - she survived a pretty serious bout with Omicron but is not - and will not be - vaccinated. For all of us, the last 24 months have been an eye-opening experience about trust in the profession that was supposed to be "all about science" and the sad truth that so many health professionals prefer to follow like lemmings instead of do their own research fueled by healthy and necessary skepticism. I am struck by just how much people really are sheep - and scientists are not an exception. Apparently, it is better to be accepted by your peers yet be dead wrong than to be correct and unpopular. I guess some people never emotionally left junior high school.

One reason as to why D3 may have been the third-rail for Fauci:
Its also a cancer prophylactic.
