Should people with darker skin be classed as vulnerable in the same way the over 70s and obese people are? Doing it could spark insane backlash but it could save live, actually, you know what, why aren't the governments sending out Vitimin D supplements to people with darker skin? This will be a great shame on us when we look back that no one spoke up for fear of calls of racism.

A Vitamin D supplement won't do anything unless you are already deficient in Vitamin D.

US stats:

which 60%+ in nurseing homes suffer from.
Which ~58% hospitalised suffer from.

"73% of elderly black subjects were vitamin D insufficient, compared with 36% of elderly non-Hispanic whites" - Vin Tangpricha, MD, PhD

Also deficiency isnt the same, as haveing enough.
You can be "non-deficient" and still show positive effects from getting vitamin D.

John Campbell saw a study about vitamin D on this virus, and started recammending everyone take it.
He himself takes a suppliment of it. 

If your white, and like to sun bathe / be outsides, chances are your vitamin D levels are fine.
The issue is, most of us arnt or dont live like that (esp now with the virus) we re basically just indoors all the time.
I see it as a "it cant hurt" type of thing, so yeah Im doing it too now.

edit:
He keeps mentioning vitamin D
