    Interestingly, Jacobson’s team also suggests vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming. The researchers note that vitamin D has already been shown to help those with Covid-19. The vitamin is readily available over the counter, and around 20% of the population is deficient. If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus.

    Nice to see I wasn't off base, but I think it's a much higher percentage of the population that is deficient in Vitamin D



    Hope everyone is doing alright.

    Astrazeneca-OxfordUni late phase vaccine trial was put on hold due to the adverse reaction/ "unexplained" illness of one of the participants.
    He is still expected to recover.

    Bad news. But at least they are doing a more thorough job than these chinese and russian vaccines.

    1,400 deaths in Harris County. 92% above age 55 or with underlying medical conditions.

    6 months going on with this. We were played. I knew it all along, but the data proves this was never anything close to a pandemic and lives have been hurt or ruined about this farce.

    I'm pissed.

    When you take precautions to limit spread and reduce the toll it doesn’t mean the threat wasn’t there it means your safety protocols are working.

    It’s amazing how united the world became to thrust this farce upon the American public. ****ing Obama.
