First sentence of the article seems out of place.

“Having low blood levels of vitamin D may not increase a person’s risk for severe COVID-19, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open found.”

The rest of the article deals with succeptiblity to infection not severity.

I haven’t read the actual study yet to see if it’s just bad reporting.

“May”. One of the classic weasel words like “might” or “could”.

This is an incredibly meaningless article. Having high levels of vitamin D isn’t going to keep a virus from getting inside of you - it could affect how well your immune system responds as well as the severity of other symptoms. Antibodies would be present either way.
