Vitamin D: The truth about an alleged Covid ‘cover-up’

Isn't it better to take Vitamin D pills every day as a cure in winter for example instead of big boost with 100 000 UI?

I don't recall exactly where I read this but I remember that the level of Vitamin D quickly decrease after this kind of takes.

In my case, I try to eat lunch with the sun on me for at least 15 minutes and I take a 5mg pill when I can't. I don't know if it's enough.

I think so: >Isn't it better to take Vitamin D pills every day as a cure in winter for example instead of big boost with 100 000 UI?

That large dose is often referred to a vitamin D "hammer" and I have heard of them trying those doses with newly arrived covid patients to an ER. Unsure of how effective they were.
