Ninja Nerds Medicine did an informative video* on the biochemistry & immunology of vitamin D in the context of SARS-CoV2 infection.

Vitamin D3 can be toxic at high doses. I live in Seattle and was at one point (years ago) tested and found deficient. My doc said many of his patients are. I was on 50k IU weekly for a few months to get back into range, and now I take 2k IU daily, with vitamin K2.

Anecdotally, I had something nasty with COVID-like symptoms in late 2019 and have had 1 minor cold since. I take other vitamin/mineral supplements, but passed on the experimental shots.
