Let 1000 die from vitamin D deficiency rather than incur 1 lawsuit

In general, good actions which

• help lots of people are not rewarded,
• hurt even a tiny number of people will result in lawsuits by those hurt
• decrease the size/power of an establishment are rejected by that establishment

Example of a good action: Increase vitamin D

• Will prevent many people from suffering/dying of many diseases in the column at the left
• Might cause suffering/death to rare individuals
• Could decrease the size of the medical establishment

Increasing the vitamin D levels of a country will result in:

• Saving thousands of peoples lives or reduce their reduce their suffering
• Cause suffering and in rare cases death of a few people
  Doctors, organizations might incur lawsuits
• Also - reduced business for doctors
  Example: In 2012 a doctor went out of business after getting all of his patients vitamin D levels to 80 ng
  Average visit per patient dropped from 4 per year down to 1
  The high level of vitamin D was great for his patients, lousy for his business
  Vitamin D would also reduce business for labs, clinics, drug manufacturers, pharmacists, etc.

Notes:

1. Vitamin D should be great for Health Maintence Organizations (HMOs)
   HMOs will continue to get income, but will have far fewer expenses
2. Potential of lawsuits if vitamin D is not increased by your doctor
   Increased liability exposure
3. Vitamin D fortification is especially hard for people which can have problems with extra vitamin D
   Increasing increase vitamin D back to where it had been 40 years before can cause problems
