Vitamin D is very protective of immunity, and active vitamin D values of 40-50 ng/mL have been shown to be better than values such as 20-30 ng/mL. This post only deals with the proportion of people below 20 ng/mL, even though it’d be better to check levels above that to show even better immunity.
The following graph takes data from a recent study on vitamin D levels across nations, and relates it to the excess death per 100,000 which had accumulated by 30 Nov 2020:
Notice how going from no one being deficient (no one less than 20 ng/mL of active vitamin D), to everyone being deficient, almost triples the amount of excess death expected — revealing how crucial it is to get vitamin D.
Also notice how most (over 50%) of the nations have such poor vitamin D status that most (over 50%) of their population is walking around with a vitamin D deficiency.
Note: Many government organizations claim that having less than 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) is merely a vitamin D insufficiency, but they erroneously base that mostly on bone health, rather than total wellness.
In other words, 20 ng/mL prevents rickets, but it doesn’t boost immunity like 50 ng/mL does.
The standard deviation of yearly death for the USA is 1.7%, and the world death rate in 2019 was about 750 per 100,000. This would make for a standard deviation of 12.75 per 100,000. Data was cleaned to remove outliers/confounders for these reasons:
Nation removed ……………. Reason
China ………………………………. Gave vaccines in the fall of 2020 (prior to November)
Russia ……………………………… Gave vaccines in the fall of 2020 (prior to November)
Ecuador ………………………….. Over 15 standard deviations of excess death
Mexico ………..………………….. Over 15 standard deviations of excess death
Malaysia …………………..…….. Over 2 standard deviations of negative excess death
Mongolia ………………….…….. Over 2 standard deviations of negative excess death
New Zealand ………………….. Over 2 standard deviations of negative excess death

I looked at our world in data website and excess deaths are continuing to grow. I'd be grateful if you looked at VAERS or Euro one for diabetes, whether new or complications of existing disease. I think this is a problem but may not get reported as AE as these complications take time to manifest and noone links to jabs. I am sure PTB are already working on it.
