This systematic meta-analysis paper[1] may be more convincing. The popular youtube COVID-commentating Dr. John Campbell did a review of it about a month ago[2] and has some good comments on the meaningful statistical power and experiment design.
The overall takeaway is this: in people with Vitamin D deficiency (which is very, very common), continuous daily supplementation can lead to up to a 70% reduction in contracted viral respiratory infections. It has a smaller effect the less deficient you are, and is not associated with any adverse effects.
