It would be no benefit to anyone that is not already deficient. [1] [1] - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6075634/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6075634/

Here's a positive result. https://www.bmj.com/content/356/bmj.i6583 https://www.bmj.com/content/356/bmj.i6583 "Vitamin D supplementation was safe and it protected against acute respiratory tract infection overall. Patients who were very vitamin D deficient and those not receiving bolus doses experienced the most benefit."

  Good one (odds ratio=0.88), and it's generally low-risk.
