Did they measures vitamin c levels in other people? How do they know their test wasn't broken?

Presumably the method for measuring vitamin-c is well established.

I like that their conclusion is 'more information needed' rather than 'deploy all the vitamin-c'. It seems to warrant further study, even if the amount they've done so far has limitations.

Its becoming apparent that the people dying from COVID are fundamentally unhealthy in the first place. Its a shame that we are so focused on locking up healthy people and shutting down societies and economies, instead of improving diets and removing pollution from the air.

Interestingly though the shutdown did more to remove pollution and improve diets (more home cooking vs. fast-food) than anything else we've done over the last decade.

Not sure that's the conclusion at all, I've certainly read quite a few stories of very fit and healthy people becoming quite ill. While we all want a quick fix to this I think we need to let the scientists do their work and approach treatment methodically rather than jumping to solutions that confirm our own biases.

Spreading misinformation. Where did you get that info? 5g-truthers.org ?

Go back to the hole you crawled from, don’t forget the tinfoil

Why, because measuring vitamin C levels is some kind of novel invention?

Or because doctors wouldn't know the baseline vitamin C levels in the general population?

Commercial labs screw up all the time, particularly if they don't do the test very often.

Your conclusion is wrong.

You can live to an old age with common conditions like diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, and subclinical heart issues.

Also, unless you think old age is a curable health issue, shutdowns are still the only way to keep people in that group safe.

> improving diets and removing pollution from the air

How does one improve the diets of billions of people in a few days?

Shutdowns are instant. Major overhauls of civilization are not.
