Results are coming in from various settings and the main message seems to be that vitamin D deficiency may or may not help to prevent you catching the virus, but it does affect whether you get very ill from it.

Is my brain fried or does the sentence containing the “main message” of that article not actually make sense?

I’m pretty sure it’s a given that vitamin D deficiency won’t help to prevent anyone catching the virus?

Yes, that's sloppy writing. The author clearly means that 'a good supply of vitamin D [or some other way of expressing that idea] may or may not help to prevent you catching the virus, but it does affect whether you get very ill from it'.
