Get out and get some sun then.

Easier said than done in the northern hemisphere at the moment

The Vitamin D doesn't surprise me.  It seems to have so many uses aside from preventing rickets.   With the lack of Sun during the Winter months it's one of the few supplements that most would benefit from taking.

It's why I'm a white person. Helps me to absorb UV and synthesise vitamin D.

The COVID vaccines substantially reduce the risk of virus-related heart failure and blood clots:

I've always taken daily Vitamin D supplements in the winter for as long as I can remember. Not had Covid either, nor my wife.

Interesting report that catching covid had the impact of lessening IQ. Even people who only suffered a mild dose are said to have dropped 2 or 3 points.  Hospitalisation to treat covid could have caused a 9 or 10 point drop

[Slim]

Very unfortunate, given that it's generally those with the fewest points to lose who have passed on the jabs.

This is the official text of the finding:

It's actually about internal governance of their social media presence. There was only one breach of the code (Pfizer was found not to have breached the code on five separate counts, I wonder if someone at the Telegraph got a bit confused). And there's no reference in the document to "unlicenced medicines".

Very confused. Scandalous. I'm expecting Pfizer to litigate, they have the funds.....and considerable experience of litigation

That's not the case in question, this is:

The panel ruled breaches of five clauses including Clause 3.1 "Promoting an unlicensed medicine"

Pfizer were found to have "brought discredit upon and reduced confidence in the pharmaceutical industry"

Phenomenal response from the public gallery following Andrew Bridgen's speech on excess deaths today in the House of Commons

[Slim]

Absolute clowns, but a lot of thick people have been taken in. I don't think Bridgen is one of them. He's just trying to salvage a career out of their ignorance at the expense of people's health and lives.

I'm literally represented by the most dishonourable, irresponsible MP in the entire House of Commons, and I voted for him. But I'm looking forward to cleaning him out of there.
