Look up how much vitamin D you get from an hour of full-body sun exposure… if Vitamin D weakened defense against SARS-CoV-2 (instead of helping, as it does against other viruses), the Australians and Indians would have trouble ;)
...when actually they’re doing much better than the US.
You’re asking me to do a significant amount of work here, and it’s not clear you understand the actual claims being made. “Vitamin D weakens defenses against SARS-CoV-2” is not a good summary of them.
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I’ve read LessWrong for years but haven’t tried to post much before the virus gave me some free time, I’m still getting used to the format.

Edit: oh, to be fair that was somewhat my fault, apologies. I linked to the old version, and to a part of the page below where it says it’s the old version. http://reasonableapproximation.net/2020/04/28/chris-masterjohn-on-coronavirus-part-2.html has more.
