Vitamin D3 supplementation during or just before COVID-19 was associated with 68% lower mortality and less severe COVID-19 in frail elderly.Retrospective 66 French nursing home residents, mean age 87.7, 9 control patients, and 57 that received an oral bolus of 80,000 IU vitamin D3 either in the week following the suspicion or diagnosis of COVID-19, or during the previous month. 17.5% mortality in the treatment group and 55.6% in the control group.This is the 4th of 111 COVID-19 controlled studies for vitamin D, which collectively show efficacy with p<0.0000000001 (1 in 49 sextillion). 27 studies are RCTs, which show efficacy with p=0.00002.
