Try again. Don't pretend to be on the side of science when you cannot engage in open thought or discussion.

These are all studies that point to the same thing, yet I am downmodded.

Pre-infection 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels and association with severity of COVID-19 illness

No, downmodding me is a tyranny of hubris and ignorance....a simple websearch comes up with the study on the NIH site...

The Impact of Vitamin D Level on COVID-19 Infection: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusions of study

Conclusions: In conclusion, low serum 25 (OH) Vitamin-D level was significantly associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 infection. The limited currently available data suggest that sufficient Vitamin D level in serum is associated with a significantly decreased risk of COVID-19 infection.

I think if you bothered to look at the VAERS system, you would see that cytokine storms are quite common with the vaccine. To give you an order of magnitude, the VAERS data file for 2021 is 160mb, for 2019 it was 11mb. Before you say, but but there are far more doses now, you may wish to consider that roughly 170 million flu shots were delivered in 2019. I am employed as a data scientist and often work with this data. To me, it appears that the relative risk of COVID vaccine mortality is roughly equal to mortality of dying of COVID when one considers unreported cases. This makes sense when one considers you are getting the worst part of COVID either way. Furthermore, the 2% mortality number often quoted does not match the populations I am see which are still in the millions. True mortality for most, even older, is far less.

For most, your immune system is the mitigating factor. Have you considered why the vaccine creates a higher antibody level than actual infection? It is creating a larger number of spike proteins. Are you also aware that there is a Japanese study that has shown that this spike protein load travels throughout the body depositing in widespread locations such as the brain and reproductive organs? Your immune system in most people addresses COVID the first time and even better the second. With the vaccine, your biology has no control of the impact.

I hope reading will help you, if not me. Work out of the Salk Institute and Israel demonstrate the spike protein and several other features of COVID are dangerous to your endothelial lining. The question is it better to receive immunity solely based on multiple exposures to the spike protein alone through vaccination sequences or to acquire immunity to the multiple features of COVID through natural immunity. Longevity of antibody levels plays a role here. For the vaccine, longevity is not promising though.

Yes, how long will that "neutralization" last? Meanwhile, you are subjecting your blood vessels to damage from spike proteins with every repeated shot. The immune system of most will handle Omicron without issue while developing an immunity based on multiple facets of the virus. I think that is the immunological approach I will take.

4th Choice - Manage your weight, make certain you have high Vitamin D and Zinc levels. Numerous studies show that you are far less likely to die of COVID or wind up in the hospital for it - if you do those (just VitD and Zinc). COVID raises your mortality risk by roughly 20% independent of age. If you reduce that by by 60-80% - that is a manageable risk.

Also, the suggestion by the map is that because cases resided by the market and not the lab -- that the market must be the source. However, none of this takes into account where people in Wuhan live. Perhaps many people do not live by the labs -- which is likely. Usually, markets are placed where people live, even lab employees. Finally, no one seems to account for how viral vectors found hundred of miles away traveled to the market but no place else closer to those sources. So, the piece has some elements of unsupported narrative creative.
