Dear Fellow Citizens, We would like to impress upon you the importance of protection against COVID-19 by correcting Vitamin D deficiency, which is so widespread in our population. The answer is simple: take Vitamin D3, 100 micrograms (4,000 units) daily. We have all have been through a great deal of inconvenience, anxiety and lockdown during the course of this year, but despite this, COVID-19 is out of control in some areas. The Government has borrowed £400 billion yet failed to prevent more than 50,000 deaths – which works out at £8 million per funeral! The phrase “following the science” has been used repeatedly, but this is inaccurate. Rather, we have been following the mathematicians, whose ignorance of biological science is dire. To date, the disruptive and damaging attempts to control COVID-19 have been physical in nature. Lockdowns, ‘social distancing’, masks, etc. as if we are fighting a conventional war. Whereas. in reality, we are trying to defend ourselves against a virus, which is invisible and is transmitted through the air in its trillions.

Government Proposes to Liberate Local Areas in Bid to Placate Rebellion The Government has said that towns and villages will be able to go into lower tiers than neighbouring virus "hotspots" in an effort to see off a growing Commons rebellion against their new lockdown plans. The Telegraph has the exclusive. MPs have been told that rural areas with low infection rates could be "decoupled" from cities that have "unfairly" dragged them into Tiers 2 and 3 under the Government's regional approach.It comes amid a major rift between ministers and scientific advisers, who say areas of England are more likely to go up a tier than down one.Government scientists have said they expect few changes within the system in coming months, with Tier 2 areas far more likely to go up than down and almost nowhere likely to get to Tier 1 until March. Scientists are understood to have told Boris Johnson that he should consider moving Tier 2 areas to Tier 3.The draconian advice comes despite new figures showing the reproduction or 'R' rate of the virus to have come down to between 0.9 and 1.0 – its lowest level since August – meaning Covid could already be in retreat.Up to 100 Tory MPs are threatening the biggest rebellion of Mr Johnson's premiership when the new tier system is put to a vote next week amid ...
