You are full of nonsence. Of course it prevents scurvy ffs.

This totally doesn't mean that. Vitamin C is cofactor and resource. It is used in bunch of processes, only some of it are for repair.

Ah, sorry, yes, that's true. I didn't mean Vitamin C doesn't prevent Vitamin C deficiency.

Your second statement doesn't negate my claim that Vitamin C is essential for tissue repair. It absolutely is, but of course that's not all it's essential for, and I did hint at this in the bit you didn't quote.
