Some years ago Finland discovered that it was way behind the other Nordic countries in regard to Vitamin-D deficiency in the general population.  Finland not wanting to be worse than the other Nordic countries in any respect responded with a massive Vitamin-D supplementation program.  So they not only add Vitamin-D to their milk but add twice as much as the other few countries that also add Vitamin-D to their milk.  This coupled with the fact that they still drink considerable milk means that they have less overall Vitamin-D deficiencies than other countries. 

The secret to Finland's success is this low Vitamin-D deficiency.   The Finns themselves were not really aware of this and tend to attribute their success to their very limited other measures to keep the Coronavirus under control.  But if we compare Finland's success to Irelands which took on no lesser other measures we see a five fold death rate.  The only logical explanation for this is that the people of Ireland are hit harder by the Coronavirus because of Vitamin-D deficiencies in the absence of a country wide Vitamin-D supplementation program.  13 to 26% of Irish people were reported to have Vitamin-D deficiencies wheras only 1% in Finland. 

A year later we posted this update, i.e. on 7 April 2021 Ireland just discovered Finland's secret and is recommending Vitamin-D for everyone.  In the following months no one died from Covid-19 in Ireland.  We like to congratulate ourselves for saving these peoples lives because we specifically compared Ireland to Finland a year earlier and suspect that our message got through.  The people in Ireland benefited from the free publicity of this ground breaking recommendation but stupidly the Irish government did not do a paid publicity campaign because it was not budgeted for ;(  and with time people forget to take their Vitamin-d suppliments.

Politicians needed to be hear calls for action from every direction and this is where we needed help in spreading our messages  Even when you spread the message to ordinary people the chances of our message eventually reaching important influencers and decisionmakers is increased and the people that you pass our message to, can address their own Vitamin-D deficiencies; which will make them less vulnerable to Coronavirus.  Apperently it worked with Ireland and perhaps we saved some lives of others.

Let's learn from this and get people to read this story

Do something positive to help spread the right information.  Send a link to this website to everyone you know 

https://www.end-covid-19.org 

WhatsApp it, post it on Facebook, tweet it, send it to your local paper, politicians, medical professionals, regional authorities, hospitals, elderly care facilities, friends and family, whoever. 

It is important to spread the right information and not the wrong information such as the information about Vitamin-C which has been shown to be deadly for very sick, hospitalized Covid-19 patients. 

We call for investigations in all countries into why information about Vitamin-D was surpressed, especially in the media and by key individuals in key institutions.
