One characteristic of people that get problems from Covid is that they have vitamin D levels in their blood less than 50 ng/mL. Once you go below 30 ng/mL, the risk of death from all causes goes up. Almost everybody has insufficient vitamin D. This is especially true of blacks and Mexicans, not coincidentally two groups that suffer more from Covid than whites and Asians. Frankly, I think that the data regarding vitamin D is outdated and that “normal” should be much higher than what has typically been accepted.

We were told the same by a Dr many years ago.

That said, A, D and E are fat soluble and because of that, you can get too much. I know that many years ago, my mom was having symptoms and it turned out she was taking too much E. Clearly, lots of folks think that the amount of D that we need (and therefore what would be enough to cause issues) should be higher than the generally accepted "norm".
