You missed this from late August. Rct, calcifediol administered to hospitalized patients. Absolutely massive effect on ICU admission.

There have been three RCT I know of. Another calcifediol study showed a big impact. An oral supplement study on hospitalized patients did not. Presumably because oral supplements take a while to change levels whereas calcifediol does not.
