Summary

Trump’s FBI director pick, Kash Patel, promoted unproven supplements claiming to “detox” Covid vaccines, a stance unsupported by scientific evidence.

Patel endorsed Warrior Essentials’ “Spike Protein Detox Protocol” on Truth Social, though experts confirm such products are ineffective.

The supplement company profits from anti-vaccine misinformation, despite Covid vaccines being safe and FDA-approved. Experts warn supplement claims often exploit regulatory loopholes and public distrust in science.

Patel’s promotion aligns with Trump’s broader trend of nominating vaccine skeptics, including figures critical of vaccine mandates and public health policies.

        The entirety of MSM is literally owned by the oligarchy who wants to remove the risk that democracy represents to their power and replace it with their preferred flavor of corporate plutocratic dictatorship.

        They will never be fair and balanced until they are split into a thousand tiny pieces and restructured as non-profit journalist-owned and operated co-ops.
