Reply to comment by Putin_Delenda_Est in Analysis showed that 65.6% of women who took extra Vitamin D gave birth naturally. The study analysed results from the MAVIDOS trial which involved 965 women being randomly allocated an extra 1,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D during their pregnancy or a placebo. by Wagamaga
My point was that that dollar amount is meaningless without context of how much is being spent.
I also don’t think it would save billions of dollars in, say, Canada, which would still be only a modest couple of percentage of points of savings.

I know you just threw out a number there, but if we’re talking single digit billions, that’s such a small percentage of health care dollars that it would barely register.
If the average person in the US costs $13k a year in health care, scaled down to the individually, billions of dollars would be like… tens of dollars per person of that $13k.
The US spends trillions of dollars a year on healthcare.

Well yes, but you don’t normally get vaccines often enough that you are chronically inflamed for years at at a time.
This also includes being exposed to viruses constantly that your body has to continually fight off - I wasn’t suggesting it was a vaccine thing specifically.

Isn’t it actually bad to constantly have your body constantly in a state of autoimmune response to things?
I’m pretty sure that causes disease itself.

Got an example?
[edit] They gave an example of Australia that appears to have been deleted by a mod, and then appear to have blocked me.
The closest the murder rate per 100k population between the US and Australia has been in the last 5 years was 5 times worse in the US than in Australia. Try again.

Post-viral syndromes have existed for long before COVID and have been studied by a lot of people.
Similar to other damage that has already been done, there is largely only so much you can do.
Until we figure out a panacea like mercury stem cells.
[edit] Let me be clear, stem cells have a lot of proven applications, but they are not a panacea.
