The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
There are also several SNPS that affect vitamin D levels. Genetically low plasma vitamin D levels are associated with a higher mortality from respiratory infections and three different SNPs in the vitamin D receptor are all associated with a higher risk of respiratory tract infections in both adults and children.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
But yeah, there's been other SNPs in, like, the vitamin D receptor, for example. So children that have a single nucleotide polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor, they also have a higher mortality from respiratory tract infections as well, you know.
