Virtual Town Hall with Dr Rachel Levine on COVID-19 vaccine
We have questions.
1️⃣ We want to know why health officials have been silent about the strong link between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity and complications. Wouldn’t it benefit the entire community if she were to urge people to ask their doctors to check their serum vitamin D levels? Isn’t this especially important in winter, in an often-cloudy state like PA?
Over 80% Covid cases with vitamin D deficiency: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/10/201027092216.htm
2/3 of healthy young adults in US with vitamin D deficiency by the end of winter, as well as 60% of nursing home residents: https://www.medscape.com/answers/128762-54281/what-is-the-prevalence-of-vitamin-d-deficiency-in-the-us
African-Americans at greater risk for vitamin D deficiency: https://www.cooperinstitute.org/2019/09/24/african-americans-at-greatest-risk-of-vitamin-d-deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency in African Americans is associated with a high risk of severe disease and mortality by SARS-CoV-2: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41371-020-00398-z
Op-Ed published yesterday’s MedPage Today, asking why hospitals are not routinely checking serum vitamin D levels in Covid patients: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/90530
2️⃣ We would like her to discuss that so far, 1,158 adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination have ALREADY been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, as of 11/25 am EST, 1/6/2021.
Of these, 308 required an ER/ED visit.
See reports here: https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?TABLE=ON&GROUP1=AGE&EVENTS=ON&VAX[]=COVID19&VAXTYPES[]=COVID-19&ER_ED_VISIT=Yes
3️⃣ The number of unexpected serious anaphylactic reactions reported above is troubling. How does Dr. Levine justify putting some people at such serious immediate risk, when it is unknown whether they would be at anything close to that risk from the virus?
4️⃣ We would also like her to discuss the fact that the risk of autoimmune reactions from the vaccine is unknown, as that was not an end point of the vaccine trials, and such reactions often take several weeks or even months to be symptomatically apparent.
5️⃣ We want to know why there isn’t better screening for susceptibilities to adverse vaccine reaction.
6️⃣ We would like to remind everyone of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights:
Article 3 – Human dignity and human rights
1. Human dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms are to be fully respected.
2. The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society.
