I take 10k-50k IU vitamin D3 every day and haven't been sick in years (knock on wood). Not saying that vitamin D3 is protecting me, but just saying...

Wow that is a lot. 4,000 I.U. is the upper limit according to NIH — https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-Consumer/#:~:text...

Might be worth checking your blood level. $17.46 to do so at home seems reasonable.

Obviously I do that. Also take appropriate amounts of K2.

The test will probably be useless, it will only show that op has enough vitamin D in their blood

”…participants did not significantly differ between the vitamin D3 (n = 863) and placebo (n = 884) groups [cumulative incidences, 0.28 compared with 0.29; odds ratio (OR), 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75, 1.24]. Similar nonsignificant results were observed for the prespecified secondary treatment and prevention outcomes, though per-protocol analyses showed a nonsignificant trend toward benefit of vitamin D3 on the prevalence of long COVID at 8 wk (OR, 0.78; 95% CI: 0.59, 1.03).“

Nothing to see here, but in general it is a good idea to publish non-results and should be done on a regular basis.
