"From inability to let well alone; from too much zeal for the new and contempt for what is old; from putting knowledge before wisdom, science before art and cleverness before common sense; from treating patients as cases; and from making the cure of the disease more grievous than the endurance of the same, Good Lord, deliver us."

Sir Robert Hutchison (1871 - 1960)

Does vitamin D protect against COVID-19?

Share this:

Does vitamin D protect against COVID-19? Social media currently abounds with ‘useful’ information about medication and supplements that will protect you against COVID-19.
