“At this time when the coronavirus is going on, I realize a lot of energy is expended as we work toward a possible vaccine, but I would like the Centers for Disease Control to bring up two other topics which may be helpful, though not quite as expensive. One is three universities--Trinity in Dublin, Harvard, and Northwestern University--have shown that Vitamin D can do a lot toward lessening the damage of COVID. Madam Speaker, 40 percent of Americans suffer from a lack of vitamin D, and you can get enough vitamin D--in addition to going outside, if you are not staying inside too much--you can get it at your local drugstore. I wish the Centers for Disease Control would spend more time publicizing this, as 40 percent of Americans are short of vitamin D. I also wish they would spend more time dealing with fenofibrate, which in Israel they are looking at. Perhaps this common anticholesterol can also save a lot of lives as we await the vaccine. ____________________”
