I don't think you need fortified milk either, but if you are worried about it you can take it, that's what I meant.
There is no indication of lack of calcium in vegetarians or vegans, many studies have shown it.
Most likely, its your expectation of how much calcium is actually needed and how essential dairy is that has been shapped through years of advertising and missinformation.
Actually, its the opposite vegetarians and vegans have usually stronger bones. Dairy has been actually linked to more bone fractures in general - https://nutritionfacts.org/2017/01/31/why-is-milk-consumptio...
Eat a balanced whole food plant-based diet and you will be absolutely fine and actually much healthier in general than with a standard diet.

An RCT for lactose would be good to check those results but I'd also like to see an analysis of possible confounding variables
“ You can get all the nutrients that you need, calcium included from a plant-based diet. The only thing you need to supplement is B12”
Plant based milk is fortified with calcium carbonate. You just told us to take a calcium supplement added to a liquid.
That’s admitting it’s not possible to get enough calcium from plants.
With that logic there’s a lot of food we don’t need.. everyone just needs a multivitamin.
