A classic soticism technique is to think about what ill-fortune might befall you, so that if it actually happens it won’t stress you out quite so badly. In the spirit of that, consider that the FDA will probably tell people that the correct dose of vitamin D is far too dangerous and must be left in the hands of doctors once you’re already extremely ill, rather than at the time it might actually prevent you from developing severe symptoms at all.
I’ve personally started laying the groundwork with friends and family that no, 10 pills of vitamin D really won’t kill you so that if the time comes and they are having symptoms hopefully it will have sunk in enough. You don’t want to try to convince people of something new once they’re already scared and stressed out.
also the EU wants you to be deficient and therefore in this pandemic specifically, wants you to die. No one is getting to sufficient d status on 200iu pills. I take 5k a day.
my understanding is 60-100k iu on day one then booster shots of 30-50k iu twice more separated by several days. (have to convert from the injection amounts to d3)

For reference, what dose are you thinking of? Here in EU-land I can only get 5ug (200 IU) supplements easily.

I think Hanlon’s razor applies here. Thank you for sharing the 5k/day, I will make a serious effort to obtain similar doses.
