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.

    TBH the people that voted for this are not up in arms because they have no idea and probably never will.

      80 million heard “I will be your retribution”, “burn it all to the ground”, and a thousand years’ worth of racism, hatred, and misogyny rolled into one political campaign and cheered.

      88 million heard that shit and decided to not get involved to stop it.

      I can’t wait for the whining to start from either of those groups.
