This is a paper on the 1918 influenza pandemic and UVB light which has some interesting implications for COVID, SARS2 ๐ฆ and COVID ๐.
The H1N1 virus allowed for bacterial colonization and pneumonia. (*bacteria + ๐ท๐งต) >
Fauci et al. conclude that most of the deaths in the Spanish Flu were from the secondary bacterial pneumonia. > pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18680641/
This is known as the "Sequential Infection Hypothesis" a better paper, and more detailed and elaborate explanation by Brundage and Shanks: > wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/14โฆ
The first paper shows a distinct correlation of UVB dose (population mean Vitamin D status) and survivability for flu patients. >

Vitamin D upregulates cathelicidin which is a powerful antibacterial + antiendotoxin agent, effective in...
sepsis. >
Vitamin D also reduces the lethal cytokine storm, which is the reason so many young healthy people died in 1918/19. >
In the Spanish Flu, people were not taking Vitamin D supplements, and their primary source of it was solar radiation.โ๏ธ
"One strength of this study is that solar UVB was the primary source of vitamin D since in 1919, vitamin D had not yet been isolated or identified." >
If COVID is the Swiss Army knife of death, as Walter has aptly named it, then Vitamin D is the Swiss Army knife of life. >

Low levels of Vitamin D make HIV and EBV worse, huh, how about that.
It is known that Long Covid patients have reactivation of EBV in their bodies. Could LC be prevented with appropriate D levels? >
Could Vitamin D be protective against SARS2 associated neurocognitive disorder? #SAND >
It's like an ingredient list of the chimeric spike protein's inserts. >
Remember the other paper noted Vitamin D is an effective antiendotoxin in sepsis? This is another reason it is protective in COVID.
Sepsis develops in Acute COVID patients.
One reason might be because the SARS2 chimera contains gene sequence homologs of SEB an endotoxin. >
Vitamin D is an effective antiendotoxin.
This is where it may also be protective/effective against the toxic effects of the bacterial contamination found in the COVID ๐s by genomics expert @kevinmckernan. >
An explanation of the bacterial contamination here: >
For the best explanation on the ๐ endotoxin contamination, see @FluoridePoison
He has written several great articles showing the pathophysiology of it on his substack. I recommend following and subscribing: geoffpain.substack.com >
Back to Vitamin D and Long Covid since more research is showing that repeat COVID infections substantially increase the risk of LC. See @ fitterhappierAJ.
Some ๐'d patients also develop Post ๐ Long Covid, or the persistence of the S1 subunit in the immune cells for years. >
Oops, this ๐งตtweet is out of order and should be placed above with the Vitamin D and COVID tweets. Essentially, SARS2 is a bacteriophage, making it very infectious. >
