    We’re fucked. This guy is now in charge of the FBI and now has the power to investigate and charge people with federal crimes.

      Yes, pay attention to mention of “shedding”. They think that vaccination causes the PT in question to shuck it off as though they were Pigpen from Charlie Brown cartoon.

      Vaccines can shed (sometimes we have to add that as an seondqry endpoint to clinical trials), but not even remotely in the way these idiots are saying.

    Out of curiosity, I read one of their scientific studies on the website. The first one I read was a literature review (no tests were actually done) that said “one study says the supplement does nothing and another two sources say the study was done wrong so it could maybe be beneficial???” Wow. Such strong evidence.

      I feel like this is the key reason why the worst people are the most successful. I cannot count the number of opportunities I’ve passed over in life that would have just required me to lie to someone, to inflate my worth, to take something that I haven’t earned, and so on. It’s so natural for me to think in terms of morality and equity behind my decision making that I don’t even consider alternatives.

      And thus I’m over 40 and broke and will die working.

      edit: just in retrospect, I figured I would mention my father. He was a man who was remarkably similar to our current president/king. Same hair and everything, the only difference was he drank like a fish. He had ZERO qualms about lying, he carried bizarre lies to his grave just to keep anyone the satisfaction of calling him out on even the smallest things. Lying came so easily to him that he built a multi-million dollar empire on lies, on borrowing money from one lender to pay another, of drug dealers and gangs and organized crime, of the very worst people in the world following him around like scavenger jackals hoping to catch a shred or crumb from the waste and excess my father surrounded himself with. I watched millions of dollars pass through his hands (and up his nose) and he never felt anything about it, he felt like it was never enough, that he deserved more and the people who suffered for it deserved their pain. I am telling this story because a lot of people think it’s not real, that there are not truly dishonest people in the world, and everything we’re all so contentious about is just misunderstandings and differences of perspective.

      NO. There are lying liars who will look you in the face and tell complete falsehoods to you and smile as they do so, and they will delight in it. You are not aware of human darkness and you need to get it together. You NEED to understand how bad people can be, and how much people really LIE.

        Exactly. It’s not some cosmic battle or any of the other shit some people will use to grift, but some people are liars who more or less don’t give half a shit who they hurt to get what they want (or maybe they do, some might, just not enough to not do it). And I’m not calling for cruelty or anything to them (many of them will be the first to advocate cruelty to “bad people”), just awareness, caution, and caring for your fellow humans.

        There are other types of evil out there too. The banal variety has been made famous, but there’s an evil made of fear, an evil made of self righteousness without reflection, an evil made of tribalism… I also think distance from the consequences of one’s actions is a contributer. Power makes you a less moral person and all that.

        Also, your father’s life sounds miserable and exhausting. I bet he thought people who did things honest and built community were fools despite us often being happier than folks like him

          I see you’ve met him (or his archetype) because yes, his favorite past-time was condemning the “sheep” for living their lives in suburbia, paycheck to paycheck, how useless education was, how worthless so many kinds of people are, how miserable life would be living like so, so many people in the world who are happy and loving with their families. He railed against the “spoils of babylon” while sipping champagne and brandy from his private restaurant booth.

          He was crushingly miserable and blamed everyone and everything else for it and became physically violent at anyone who dared to challenge his assertions that he was the perpetual victim. He drank himself to death alone and broke because he had burned every bridge in his life and squandered a fortune.

            Yeah, everyone who is just fully on board with neitzche. Though the “spoils of Babylon” thing makes it sound like he was religious enough to hate that description of him

            Unfortunately him and his kind control large aspects of my country. And yeah I bet he also thought he worked harder than the suckers and earned it all. Folks like that can’t see past their own nose and their introspection is so bad they can’t see much closer than it either. They’re the sort of folks whose stomach aches from overeating and lament that they can’t eat enough to stop the pain as they eat off your plate.

            I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to keep my distance from them, but I’ve known the more openly pathetic variant, who aim for your sympathy rather than your honesty.

        I guess our compensation is being able to be content with what we already have, and not having to constantly worry about someone finding out.

      You can literally put anything in these unregulated supplements. There’s no restrictions. If you think swallowing a few fl grams of ox testicle will make you a boner having manly man. Then you can sell that to people. Wait… maybe I don’t need all these morals…

    Vaccines are evolution at work. So long as they work, you live longer and have a higher chance of reproducing. This is not a difficult concept. My genetic line is going on as long as I can throw it.

    Looked at the site. It is vitamins, salt, food extracts, and Spermidine. Spermidine is a polyamine. I remember the first time I resuspended some in lab, it became clear from the smell why it is called SPERMidine. Wonder if the customers know there is a cheaper way to get a daily oral dose of Spermidine.

      Sure, it’s cheaper, but I’m on that 24/7 grind to make money for billionaires man, I ain’t got time for the real deal! But just one of these pills gives me enough shame and self-hatred to last for the day!

    I was planning on starting a website that will “use your device’s wifi to purge any 5g nanitesfrom your body” with a “cleansing signal” for only $19.99. (For entertainment purposes only - there are no health benefits guaranteed or claimed by this site)

    “Warrior Essentials” is exactly the name of a snake oil brand id expect moron maga alpha wannabes to ignorantly fall for. They’re so fucking easy to grift.
