COVID and Vitamin D | Vitamin D for SEVERE COVID?
2020 Is finally coming to an end. But the virus won't be anytime soon. Especially if people don't get the vaccine. December 2020 was the worst pandemic month. And January will be even worse.
Ivermectin for COVID?
Vitamin D for Covid?
Let's talk.
⏩ Timestamps
00:00 - Intro
00:11 - January The Worst
02:38 - COVID Vaccine Allergic Reaction Issues
04:32 - Ivermectin for COVID (latest update)
04:51 - Vitamin D for COVID (latest update)
More people traveled through US airports this past Sunday than any other day this pandemic, about 1.3 million. Simultaneously, more Americans were hospitalized this past week than any other week of the pandemic.
This past week, about 40% of all ICU patients in the US had Covid, according to data published Monday by the US Department of Health and Human Services. That's up from 16% in late September, 22% in late October, and 35% in late November. More than 63,000 Americans have already died so far this month, which is the worst month of this entire pandemic. And next month is only going to be worse.
Three big reasons;
One, because of holiday travel and indoor gatherings.
Two, because of colder temperatures.
And three, that new covid variant B.1.1.7 is more contagious, more transmissible. It's nowhere in the US, first identified in a Colorado man.
So I think that January is going to be the worst month of this entire pandemic.
Of course, the way we fight this is with distancing and masks, and the more people do this, the better the numbers will be. And the more people who get the vaccine, the higher the likelihood of bringing this pandemic to an end. Most experts believe that about 80% of the population needs to be vaccinated to reach herd immunity. Most polls show that about 60% of Americans want the covid vaccine. Based on my YT poll, 10,000 of you voted. And 47% want the vaccine. 37% don’t want it. And 16% are still undecided.
So this virus will not be extinguished anytime soon unless these numbers change. The soonest I expect this pandemic to be over would be by next fall. But people need to get the covid vaccine to make this happen. I’m glad that I was able to get my Pfizer vaccine back on Dec 15th. Other than some arm soreness in the first 24 hours or so, I didn’t have any side effects. So, I feel great. And I’m going to get by the second shot of the Pfizer vaccine a week from now. With the second shot, the chances of developing side effects are slightly higher than the first shot, so we’ll see, and I’ll keep you posted.
One concern with these covid vaccines is the potential for allergic reactions. Reactions to vaccines, in general, are rare. The American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) has updated its advice regarding allergic reactions to these new mRNA vaccines. They say that anyone with a severe allergic reaction to the first shot should not get the second shot. People with allergies to medications, foods, insects, and latex are no more likely than the general public to be allergic to these covid vaccines.
It's still unclear whether having had an allergic reaction to an older type of vaccine means people will react badly to the mRNA vaccines. People who have had a previous allergic reaction to a specific component of the new vaccine, such as propylene glycol or lipid nanoparticles, should hold off on getting the vaccine. Regardless, these people should discuss the covid vaccine's benefits and risks with their health care providers, ideally, an allergist. These are the latest recommendations at the time of this video, and they are subject to change.
Now, with this new covid variant, which scientific experts are saying is more contagious.
Does that mean the covid vaccine will be less effective to new covid variants?
This is still unknown at this point.
And if the vaccine is less effective against this new variant, how much so?
Again, an unknown. Most scientists think that the vaccine will remain effective against it.
A lot of people are also talking about the parasitic drug Ivermectin. Is it useful against COVID? Too early to tell.
Some weak studies show it might help against COVID, but nothing conclusive so far. We will need a large RCT to know if it works or not, and that hasn’t happened yet.
What did just come out, though, is an RCT for giving Vitamin D to patients with severe COVID from Brazil? We know that vitamin d deficiency is linked with a higher risk for severe COVID. Still, when vitamin D was given to critically ill COVID patients with lower vitamin D levels, it did not shorten their length of stay in the hospital or decrease mortality. The way that I look at it, it's important not to be vitamin D deficient in the first place, as getting a large dose of vitamin D when you are critically ill is not going to save you.

@SawmillerSmith3 years agoIm 72 and have been taking vitamin d, c ,k2 and zinc for years. Haven't been to a doctor for a checkup since I was 13. I was not a healthy child either. I had to figure out how to survive. I'm surprised ive made it this far after seeing so many who are gone and were healthy growing up. ...83
@
@pauljenkins68774 years agoRegarding the vitamin D study, the patients were given D3, the precursor substance, which takes several days to a week to be transformed into the active form of vitamin D — calcifidiol — by the liver. It is not surprising that already critically ill patients did not respond well. Studies where hospital patients were instead given calcifediol had much more impressive results. ...143
@
@quantumac4 years agoYes, we need a large, randomized trial of Ivermectin. The thirty odd small trials so far have shown positive results, so you'd think it would be a strong motivation to investigate. You'd think. I have no idea if it will happen. I'm very cynical these days about such things. ...94

@robert111k4 years agoWhich form of vitamin D did they give to their patients? Because it takes some days to metabolize plain vitamin D whereas if you give them calcifediol, the "active" form of vit. D, then the effects are immediate. And I reckon when somebody is about to die he doesn't have time (or liver) to process anything. ...7

@RCinSATx4 years agoHat's off to you Dr. Hansen. Since your posting earlier this year, I have been educating my patients and everyone that I have been accross about the importance of vit D3, I am a nurse. A patient family that I am seeing, had two other family members in the same house. All three came down with COVID 19. My patient, diabetic, HTN never had any ssx's of COVID, not even fever, he was taking vit D3 daily since I educated. The person in the same house never took vit D3, well you know it, he passed away in just two weeks! The third person who took it off and on lived but had many complications, was given Z Pack, and of course the famous steriod. I believe the vit D 3 protected the person without symptoms by doing it's job! ...5

We don't necessarily need a randomized trial. Everything from those studies to world data (compare India to the US - India is handing out Ivermectin to anyone who feels sick) to even multiple anecdotes points to its effectiveness. It's worth digging deeper into this and looking at that Dr Kory is saying when you find the time ...6
