I think the point is - is that this isn't "flu season". There will always be outliers. Flu season happens because of the sun (vitamin D3). in the summer people are out in the sun and getting vitamin D. In the winter, the sun isn't as powerful and, because of the cold, people aren't out in it as much anyway. This, obviously, only applies to Northern areas, because southern areas get plenty of sun year round.
In short, people should be supplementing D3 in the winter months.
I was doing a talk in Texas and mentioned that probably everyone there was doing well with vitamin D levels, and they all said, "No, we have terrible vitamin D levels, because we stay inside when it is hot!" So, take D3 all year 'round.
The main thing with vitamin D is to not over do it. One pill a day is fine.
It's all about the dose, which should be 5000 IU a day. It's not a pill, it's a supplement. Pills are medicine, and usually poison.
