Uh, the pandemic of today is pretty important. I’m not sure I would characterize trying to slow it down as “shortsighted”.
And, the point of vitamin D supplementation isn’t to avoid rickets. That’s what the RDA is based on and there’s increasing evidence that while that’s an easy threshold to cross, it’s way too low. People don’t get enough sun and low vitamin D levels seem to have a serious negative impact on health.

My argument here is exclusively with regards to encouraging people to self-medicate at higher-than-OTC doses when they don't even know that they need such a dose in the first place. Encouraging people to pop 10x 5,000 IU pills seems like a recipe for disaster.
