Ive also seen it pop up a lot

The science is a long way off from any kind of verification but as long as you don’t go overboard and take way more than the recommended dietary allowance of it why not.

I’m kind of a fan of Dr. Steven Novella (you can google him) and on his podcast he was explaining why commonsense deductions as simple as I’m not getting enough vitamin d so taking a supplement is a good idea often does NOT pan out like you would expect when they study it. I personally will probably buy vitamin d next time I have to go to the store. That said, getting some sun (if you can safely social distance) and eating foods rich in vitamin d is probably better but I’m willing to do both because it’s really low risk afaik.

I’ve been taking vitamin c just because I’ve heard it’s good for your immune system and I’ve never even considered checking the science.

^ Thanks, OH !
Apart from the mention of Dr. Novella (who I'll take a look at) what you've said is almost word for word what I've been thinking.

Idk about the vitamin d results but if you're getting it, make sure that you're getting something legit. It's a pretty unregulated industry in the US.

Vitamin c helps your immune system in conjunction with other nutrients from your diet but it's not an immune system booster alone unless it needs help battling scurvy from what I've read. The idea that it helps with cold prevention comes from Linus Pauling overstating the results of an experiment with a small homogeneous sample size. Further trials by other scientists showed varying results. The small number of cases that improved or seemed to work were generally attributed the to regression to the mean (i.e. people already suffering colds would be improving anyways and people taking it preventatively just didn't catch it that season).

The vitamins aren't useless, but stuff like Airborne is a scam. If anyone's got more info let me know, my take could be a little dated.

she was discharged from the military due to Lupus

If she really has lupus a mask might make her face flare up. I sure as **** wouldn’t want to stack covid on top of lupus though. Lupus is ****ing evil, if she has it it’s no wonder she’s bat****. I think this is the second time in two days I said this but lupus is one scary ass ****ing word.

My mom has it (bad), my coworker has it, my sister has it, and Dayvan from here has it. All of them are kind of terrified about catching it, and are all wearing masks when they go out. I've yet to hear anything from any of them about how masks make their condition worse.

This lady just seemed like an entitled bitch looking for a fight.

Nobody would be ****ing around outside if I ran this bitch. I’d have this country locked down at gunpoint. We’ve already murdered 90,000 people because all of America is an entitled bitch.

The military that does nothing would close every base around the world come home and feed people. All their stupid worthless bloated ships and tanks and so on melted down and recycled into our infrastructure. No interaction with the military would be allowed. They get tested everyday. If positive they’re killed and buried since they thought death was so cute when they signed up.

All money from the rich is taken from then, stocks, savings, cash, property and given to the poor. All the down from Bezos to anyone worth over 100 g. With that money universal nutrition, shelter, and health care will go as far as it goes. Anyone who tries to hide money overseas gets their whole family killed. After wealth is completely redistributed and until that happens and runs dry that’s how.

It's bizarre to me that the richest country in the world has such a problem shutting down it's economy and taking care of it's citizens during a pandemic pretending that we can't afford it.

If our economy really crumbles that easily then it never was good in the first place.

More so, it's a scare tactic pieces of garbage like Trump use so the stock market doesn't look bad during the elections.

Telling people to die for the economy, what the **** has this economy done for me? Nothing. It's over stressed me and deprived me of much needed resources despite consistently doing hard labor that makes me feel like Sisyphus everyday. **** the economy.
