While you’re not wrong. I often see comments like this when new studies come out. I think most people here know that correlation doesn’t mean causality. However in the case of Vitamin D, there’s a lot of studies pointing towards Vitamin D actually helping fight bad outcomes. Such as the clinical trial from Spain where they gave supplement Vitamin D to one group and compared the outcomes [0] That does seem to indicate that the Vitamin D really is helping. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096007602...

If you look at the other comments on this thread, you'll quickly see why people like myself write comments clearly explaining what studies actually show. There is nothing wrong with understanding that the knowledge we have today is limited to a set of possible states - further study, such as the link, help collapse those states. Honestly, it makes the narrative more compelling too as showing direct action is easier than disproving all unseen movers.
