    I used to have the flu at least twice a year.
    But I haven’t had the flu or a cold for 15 years now.
    It is also 15 years since I was tested Vitamin D deficient, and started taking 85 µg per day.
    Are the 2 connected? IDK for sure, but it seems likely IMO.

      Possibly, but people also tend to get the flu less often as they get older. There’s a lot of different viruses around, but at some point your body will have seen enough of them to fight them more effectively.

        I would expect that to be a gradual effect, for me it absolutely wasn’t gradual. It was straight from getting the flu almost every time it was around, to never getting it for 15 years straight!

        This is not “less often” it’s straight from always to never.
