I didn’t keep good track of them, but this post led to me receiving many DMs that it had motivated someone to get tested. I also occasionally indirectly hear about people who got tested, so I think the total impact might be up to 100 people, of which maybe 1⁄3 had a deficiency (wide confidence intervals on both numbers). I’m very happy with that impact.
I do wish I’d created a better title. The current one is very generic, and breaks LW’s “aim to inform not persuade” guideline.
If anyone’s tracking impact, my family had five people tested due in large part due to this post, of whom five were low and started supplementing. We’re not even vegan.
