This review found nothing, so they found ‘no clinical evidence on vitamin D in COVID-19.’ No evidence for and no evidence against.

‘We found no trials of vitamin D in COVID-19 that have reported results.’

‘As our searches returned no relevant results, [...]’

But keep on posting the paper though.

I think that's a poor summary of the paper, here's the rest of the abstract:

"There is some evidence that daily vitamin D3 supplementation over weeks to months may prevent other acute respiratory infections, particularly in people with low or very low vitamin D status. This evidence has limitations, including heterogeneity in study populations, interventions, and definitions of respiratory infections that include upper and lower respiratory tract involvement."

"The current advice is that the whole population of the UK should take vitamin D supplements to prevent vitamin D deficiency. This advice applies irrespective of any possible link with respiratory infection."

That doesn’t quite help the argument that there’s no connection, right?
