Impact of Vitamin D Deficiency

Many studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency increases the likelihood and severity of many respiratory virus infections. This has been shown both for Flu and COVID.

I would like to inquiry to consider what difference attempting to treat the widespread vitamin D deficiency in Scotland would have made to the number of severe infections and deaths, and to consider ways this could have been done.

By treating the ongoing vitamin D deficiency pandemic, we might have reduced the impact of the covid pandemic in Scotland.

Further, the sooner we treat vitamin D deficiency, the fewer deaths in the future will occur due to respiratory viruses.
