“the people had like an 8% or were eightfold, eight times less likely to have a severe form of COVID-19. And if they had, and they were 20 times less likely to …”

Patrick cites a Philippines study finding people with higher vitamin D levels were 8x less likely to have severe COVID-19 and 20x less likely to have critical COVID-19.

“two grams is better than one gram for for like um reducing the duration of the common cold uh two grams is better than one and uh children are more have a more…”

Patrick claims that taking two grams of vitamin C reduces common cold duration by about 20% in adults, more in children.

“70% of the U.S. population has insufficient vitamin D levels, which is considered less than blood levels, less than 30 milligrams, nanograms per milliliter.”

Patrick claims 70% of the U.S. population has insufficient vitamin D levels (below 30 ng/mL).

“Obese people are like three times more likely to be vitamin D deficient in the United States.”

Patrick claims obese individuals are three times more likely to be vitamin D deficient than non-obese individuals in the U.S.

“That's been shown four to seven times a week, 40% lower all-cause mortality. Cardiovascular-related mortality is 50% lower.”

Patrick claims sauna use 4-7 times per week is associated with 40% lower all-cause mortality and 50% lower cardiovascular mortality.

“you can't say something's 99% effect. Like no clinical trial and known to human history has ever shown something 99% effective.”

Rhonda Patrick states no clinical trial in human history has ever shown a treatment to be 99% effective, in the context of dismissing an ivermectin claim.

“he did some kind of modeling and found you had to have six times more neutralizing antibodies to protect from actually getting infection than from like, you kn…”

Patrick cites a Miles Davenport-group modeling study (Nature Medicine) claiming six times more neutralizing antibodies are needed to prevent infection than to prevent hospitalization from COVID-19.

“So five-year increase in life expectancy, like that's huge compared to people like, you know, on the low end of the range.”

Patrick claims a Framingham study found people with a high omega-3 index have a life expectancy five years longer than those with a low omega-3 index.

“people with the highest omega-3 index, again, it was in that 7% range. And this was not statistically significant. It was because there was a small sample size…”

A small pilot study (about 100 people) by Dr. Bill Harris found a 75% reduction in COVID-19 mortality among people with the highest omega-3 index, though the result was not statistically significant.

“You know, there was a study published in The Lancet like last year showing there was a sevenfold increase in stroke incidents in people under 50 in the United …”

A Lancet study allegedly found a sevenfold increase in strokes among people under 50 in the US compared to the pre-pandemic year, implied to be linked to COVID-19 infection or spike protein effects.

“they were 17% likely to die prematurely of all causes, including accidents”

A cohort study of omega-3 index found people in the high range (>7%) were 17% more likely to die prematurely from all causes, including accidents, compared to the low range (<4%) -- as described, this appears to have the direction reversed.
