And look, it's never been tremendously likely that vitamin D was the key ingredient to banishing COVID-19, but it is wild that so many people have taken it for the disease and we still don't even know if there are harms to that or not

Also worth noting that, despite there being basically no good evidence about vitamin D/COVID-19, there are somehow nearly 1,000 PUBLISHED PAPERS on the topic which begs the question of what the point of academia is in the first place

Anyway, I'm still skeptical about vitamin D but the point here is that if someone asks you "can vitamin D help with COVID-19" the only correct answer is a GIANT SHRUG and that is a heinous situation at this point in the pandemic
