Get everyone back to their right latitude won't be any need for all this fuss

I mean - there's more truth to this than people want to admit.

It's a harsh way to phrase that it's practically abusive to make people live at certain latitudes where they can't absorb the amount of sun that creates vitamin-d adequate for their body.

Of course the way to combat this is just identifying deficiency and prescribing the right amount.

Sunlight activates hundreds of genes, do you think vitamin d is the only variable in this equation?
No but it seems close enough
