Will this period be remembered as the real 'dark ages'?

FINALLY, one year into a pandemic, is some progress being made in regards to Vitamin D? Read this. 

It is abundantly clear from the research that a science-based response to a new virus (and to the general crisis in human health that predates Covid) would involve a big effort to ensure that everyone has optimum levels of Vitamin D. Decades of science showing us how to keep a well-functioning immune system has been ignored. And what the hell is there to lose! It would be relatively easy to do, and cheap as chips.

Instead, we’ve had a year of compromising everyone’s immune system, via stress, loneliness, depression, comfort-eating, lack of exercise, lack of nature, lack of physical contact, lack of biodiversity, and... lack of sun/Vitamin D. (Oh and mandatory mask-wearing for long periods of time, which let’s face it, is effectively like wearing a used hanky on your face).

What a nightmare. How many more people are susceptible to all diseases, including Covid, as a result? Impossible to know.

Is what happened with Vitamin D indicitive of what generally happens in 21st century 'science'? That which threatens industry interests gets no funding? And the research that is done, gets suppressed by industry-captured media and regulatory bodies?

Profit over people, as ever. Humans cannot survive without big pharma and their experimental, unsafe, possibly-ineffective vaccines! 

If humanity does survive the coming centuries, which I think our response to Covid has demonstrated is unlikelier than ever, as we continue to avoid a holistic, root-cause approach to our crises, then I reckon people of the future are going to be very confused by our actions. "All that science at their disposal but they chose to listen to software engineer, Bill Gates? Wtf!".

Will this period go down in history as the real ‘Dark Ages’?

.....

I've been trying to write a list of all the actions that I think the science shows we should have taken in response to Covid. In my view, we should’ve recognized back in March/April that the virus had been with us for many months, and that shutting everyone in their houses wasn’t going to make it magically disappear, (and that it would instead cause lots of catastrophic collateral damage).

- Enable all over 60s to retire early

‪- Get everyone tested for Vitamin D levels, (obviously focussing first on vulnerable groups). Provide appropriate supplementation, (also Vitamin C and Zinc)‬

‪- Educate about nutrition and give everyone the means to eat well and heal metabolic syndrome

- Regulate/shut down some of the corporations selling highly-processed junk food‬

- Encourage people to spend time outdoors in the sun and in nature

- Reduce environmental toxicity; perhaps no driving for a few months unless absolutely necessary, and shut down some factories (eg those in cancer alley)

- Recommend, and educate about, meditation and its benefits 

‪- Regulate corporate media, to stop the scaremongering and disinformation. Use the state broadcaster to educate the public about healthy lifestyle/diet

- End poverty!

‪- Invest massively in the NHS (and introduce Functional Medicine)‬

‪- Advise some social distancing for those who feel they might be vulnerable, and help them isolate if they’d like to

‪- Puts lots of funding into treatments; allow doctors to use effective treatments like Ivermectin

- Begin revolutionizing the food system to entirely organic/regenerative!
