#2185 experts. Over 100 medical doctors. Roughly 100 professors, including many of the most respected vitamin D experts in the world---check out the list of names and qualifications yourself.
Please read the link before posting about correlation or other opinions on the topic. The point is to note the aggregate credibility of the backers here. This is analogous to the open letter done for face masks last spring.

Isn't there a similarly sized letter asking for the regulator to look into their findings for Ivermectin?

I wonder if it correlates to Joe Rogan's fixation on Vitamin D

The HN crowd is fascinated by simple but effective "hacks". This appears to be one.

Well, is it wrong?
And programmers seem more likely to spend their time indoors, and therefore more likely to be vitamin-D-deficient without supplementation.

I have doubts about some of these "mask wearing" studies too. I'm still wearing a mask. I'm still taking Vitamin D. These are low-risk interventions. I'm not going to wait for some p value to get smaller to take action.

I was tested severely deficient. Didn't have any obvious symptoms either.
