Of course they're going to ignore it. They've spent the past 40 years ignoring the fact that their suggestion of a high-carb, low-fat diet is the biggest cause of the Western obesity epidemic. Now they've been saying lock yourself indoors, don't get any exercise, and breath in your own belches. Why the fuck do people keep listening to these eggheads anymore?
Well, one of the mods of KIA2 continues to regurgitate their lies without question, and this place is supposed to be "based" and "red-pilled". Now imagine all the other normie communities out there that are brainwashed and soy-pilled?
Imagine how much more netflix I could watch if I lived in a tech closet and drank liquified bug.
I owe my soul to the company store.
I think that may be one of the reasons why the globalists push people to spend more of their time on shallow pursuits, and jobs taking more time away to earn the same income, so people have less time to question the system, and instead are spending their time propping up the system. It's easy to trust a system has your best interests at heart, to listen to what they say without question, to follow their edicts. It takes a lot of time, effort, and willpower to do your own research, especially with increasing levels of censorship against the system. The globalists also advocate for stopping all forms of people coming together, talking, and bonding, genuinely, without censorship or interference from shills, and instead push for more avenues of their own curated, propagandizing time-suck outlets. They are replacing everything good, everything that gives us strength, and replacing it with things that weaken us, with the system.
As someone with MS, now, almost certainly in part due to EXACTLY this (correlation ≠ causation, of course, but there’s got to be a relationship there, given where MS occurs at high levels), please yes… Actually do pay attention to this, folks. I thought I did, enough, and now my body is fucking betraying me, because I didn’t, lololol… 😞 But hey, at least I don’t have le coof, I suppose… 🙄
Take that as somewhat of a warning. Trust me, you don’t want this “condition”…
I would much rather have “long Covid”, or pretty much anything actually treatable, and not lifelong, than this. Hell, I would rather have fucking cancer, at this point. No word of a lie. 😞
Yeah I live in Seattle and it has one of the highest rates of MS; low levels of sun and skin exposure.
I think people in difficult climates need to be diligent about taking their extra vitamins. And it's a really easy thing to do. What's not to love?
Well, there is the fact that the vast majority of vitamins and supplements are just creating very expensive urine.
Vitamin D is obviously a low cost, low risk measure.
But anyone who knows the history of trends in synthetic vitamin supplementation understands that essentially none of them over time have been proven to improve general health in individuals over the long-term.
Exercise and eat real food instead.
There's very little salvation in pill form.
Or just… Spend more time outside, whenever there is any sun whatsoever…
That’s my mistake, I gather!
Now I have to spend the rest of my life with a body that doesn’t work properly… Amazing, really… 😞
Side note: things in Australia just got very, very dark, just as I get on top of aspects of my personal life…
So sorry if I disappear again for a while. I’m so fucking angry and sad. I need to figure out how to actually… “Push back”, though, because this is getting… Frightening, over here. 😔
I use 5,000 IU pills. I don't take it daily because I don't believe in taking any supplement everyday, but I do have it very regularly like I do Vitamin C, zinc, and a number of other supplements on rotation.

Make sure you get zinc ascorbate as your supplement as it is the only zinc salt that works as an ionophore, which is what you want.
If you aren't strapped for cash I would go for a chelated zinc such as Zinc Bisglycinate or picolinate as it doesn't interfere with the absorption of other minerals, and you can take higher doses with less side effects according to studies and my personal experience.
It is interesting that most studies that are trialing Ivermectin and get bad results are using zinc sulphate, which is regarded as the worst absorbed of all zinc salts and with the highest amount of gastrointestinal side effects.
What about zinc oxide?
That's just rusted zinc, so not a zinc salt.
But zinc oxide is a terrible source for the mineral.
Vitamin d,c, chelated zinc. echinacea when you do get something.
Anecdotal story:
I was told pre-COVID I had to take Vitamin D daily, even after being outside an hour+ daily (also, took 0 other medicine outside of vitamins.) I’m grateful for that since I believe I had COVID in January 2020. At the time, others around me were diagnosed with “bacterial sinus infections” that spread like wild fire and forced people out for about a week. As with any job, I eventually did get it but it lasted only 2 days with muscle aches and a fever. I’ve had sinus infections before but not one that lasted 2 days with no medication! Only thing it could have been was the Kung Flu and I believe Vitamin D easily helped keep it down.
5000 iu gang.
I take 5000 IU a day. Couple years ago I had a vitamin D test and was insanely low. That's despite being outside at least an hour a day and when I first got tested for it I had been outside about 4 hours a day for two weeks preceding.
With my D levels up, I took some Vitamin C and Zinc medicine when I got WuFlu last year. I was over it mostly in 36 hours and felt perfect in 72 hours.
2000 IU here, but days are getting shorter, so I suppose I should double up for the next few months.
Ya know, I've been meaning to ask on this subject. I take a multi-vitamin already on a daily basis, would anything else be worth it in addition to that?

Honestly, I would not take a multivitamin. Get bloodwork done to see if you are deficient in anything and take that. Most multivitamins have massive amounts of calcium, which will cause you problems in the long run.
I highly recommend everyone also supplement vitamin K2 (a longer lasting form of vitamin K).
Vitamin D, either from supplementation or from sun exposure, helps your body absorb calcium. However, it can also leach calcium from your bones and deposit it elsewhere in your body, causing weak bones and calcified blood vessels. Vitamin K, among other things, tells your body where to put the calcium, and strengthens bones and uncalcifies blood vessels in the process. Due to modern factory farming and the modern diet, most people don't get enough vitamin K. Most factory farm raised animals don't graze naturally, and their meats, milk, eggs, and fats have much lower vitamin K levels. We also very rarely eat animal organs, like liver, which are much higher in vitamin K. We also don't eat enough vegetables anymore, many of which also provide high levels of vitamin K.
