everything including water can be toxic at high doses. when I say its not really a thing, it means that it is indeed very uncommon compared to the amount of people who take supplements.

Ok, so paracetamol (aka Tylenol, acetaminophen) overdose is also 'not really a thing', because despite it being absolutely possible to trash your liver and die, the number of people who do that (including as a suicide attempt, as does happen) is miniscule compared to the approximately everybody who takes it.

The safety margin for Vitamin D is on a totally different scale vs the safety margin of Paracetamol (which is very thin, it's easy to overdose on it). bad analogies are bad.
