David Davies Adjournment Debate Speech on Vitamin D3

I posted on the other thread that when my husband was in Critical Care with Covid pneumonia, all of the patients there were give AdCal (vitamin D and calcium) tablets twice a day, and sent home with them. He still takes them.
I’m not sure how much vitamin D is in them.

This link is from snopes, but isn't guaranteed to be factual by them, as obviously there was and is more research to be done.

It also has links to other research on the matter.

David Davis did a couple of web chats with Dr John Campbell last year. He is science based and has spoken in parliament about the benefits of taking Vit D. I think the arguments against taking it are flawed in that there doesn’t seem to be any research that proves that it doesn’t work and, given that it’s cheap and safe I can’t see any reason not to take it. I haven’t read the links yet, though: will do when I’ve had a cuppa!

I haven't read 'em myself yet.
Let us know if you find anything interesting to report back, please.

I have been taking D3 for a few years as I have very dodgy lungs. The government offered D3 to people on the CEV list last year.

I haven't had any antibiotic for well over two years now so D3 may have helped - or maybe staying away from people because of Covid!

Thanks for the link. It's good to read all pov otherwise how are we as lay people ever going to make an informed choice?
TBH there is so much information on the internet I find it hard not to be swayed this way or that!
I thought Jo Churchill's reply was informative, giving all the reasons supporting the gov actions.

FannyCornforth have you been off the grid? I thought of you as I was trying to get to sleep last night! If I had made a.cuppa and got back to GN I would have seen your post.
