According to Dr. Matthews, an international, award-winning surgeon, statistics show that individuals who are hospitalized and ultimately die were all vitamin D3 deficient, regardless of their vaccination status.

"Research has shown that 80 percent of patients that have died from coronavirus or required ICU care were Vitamin D deficient," Dr. Matthews stated referring to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

"Vitamin D3 is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. Vitamin D pre-deficiency is a pandemic within itself," he said.

That is why last year Dr. Matthews launched a global initiative to educate people about the benefits of taking Vitamin D on a daily basis. He continues to educate people about the benefits of taking high doses of Vitamin D in the treatment of the Coronavirus and other diseases or chronic illnesses like traumatic brain injuries, heart attacks, strokes, concussions, ventilator associated pneumonia, sepsis, the management of menopausal symptoms, ARDS, a life-threatening lung injury, and infections.

Education around the importance of increasing one's immune system via a high-dose regimen of Vitamin D3 is Dr. Matthews' primary mission. He calls Vitamin D3 "the miracle vitamin," and that its effect on the human body should be more widely discussed in order to save lives.

Dr. Matthews began his research long before the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was discovered in a laboratory in Wuhan City, China. Since then, the Coronavirus and its new Delta variant have multiplied over and over again worldwide infecting and killing 905,000 people, which is 61 percent higher than the current death estimate of 561,594, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As of September 19, 2021, the number of confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported in the U.S. was more than 41.9 million of which 678,000 have died, according to the New York Times and the Johns Hopkins University and the Georgia Department of Health. COVID-19 has surged again due to the new Delta variant, which is becoming the dominant Coronavirus.

According to the New York Times, 47 percent of Americans are not fully vaccinated and during a time when the country is divided over the issue of mandating the wearing of masks, whether vaccinations are valid in the first place, which has caused health care workers' revolt and resignations at some U.S. hospitals.
