Various studies have found an association between severe vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19-related outcomes. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immune function and inflammation. Recent data have suggested a protective role of vitamin D in COVID-19-related health outcomes.
4. Conclusions
The current evidence supports the benefits of vitamin D interventions in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 due to the protective effect provided by vitamin D against ICU admission and mortality. A meta-analysis per se does not allow us to state whether the results are truly positive or false-positive. In addition, the inclusion of studies with large effect sizes and significant heterogeneity separates us from the truth. For this reason, a TSA is mandatory to verify the reliability of meta-analysis results [92]. In conclusion, the positive results highlighted again and now validated by TSAs suggest that an indisputable association between vitamin D supplementation and the protective effect on ICU admission can be considered definitive evidence. On the contrary, further studies are needed to assess the utilization of vitamin D regarding the risk of death in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

They’re just finding this out now. How the hell did my grandmother know this?
As a "skin cancer survivor" with scars all over my bald head, I hope you are liberal with SPF50.
FDA and the CDC will ban it like ivermectin.
Left this out of my previous reply, sorry.
I take 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day as part of my COVID19 prophylaxis. Been taking this miracle vitamin for 15 years at least, maybe more.
