And here is the quote in context, not that this isn't about Covid-19:
"High dose vitamin D administration in ventilated intensive care unit patients:
A pilot double blind randomized controlled trial
In the study, patients with vitamin D deficiency (<20ng/ml) were divided into three
groups: A placebo group, and two groups that were given different doses of vitamin D.
The single administration of 250,000 IU of vitamin D was compared with the single
administration of 500,000 IU of vitamin D by injection. In addition, the vitamin D levels
were increased to 45 and 55 ng/ml, respectively. While the length of stay of the placebo
group at the ICU was 36 days, the 250,000 IU group averaged 25 days and the 500,000
IU group averaged 18 days. This is a smooth halving and means that vitamin D is useful
not only in prevention but also in acute cases."
