The marketing claim promoting this quacky covid product is that it can “reverse” the effects of covid vaccines is based on misinformation claiming wrongly that the vaccines are giving people some type of damage based on things that don’t even make sense.
Trump’s pick for FBI director promoted bogus supplements to ‘reverse’ vaccines – Kash Patel has posted about a supplement line that claims, without evidence, that it can help people “detox” from Covid vaccines. Dec. 4, 2024, 5:00 AM EST By Aria Bendix “Spike the Vax, order this homerun kit to rid your body of the harms of the vax,” he wrote in another. It is not clear whether the posts were paid promotions; they were not labeled as such. Warrior Essentials sells what it calls a “Spike Protein Detox Protocol,” a set of up to three supplements that it claims, without evidence, will “undo the damage from the spike protein,” a component of the coronavirus. The mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna prompt the body to produce and fight an altered version of the protein to train the immune system. Warrior Essentials is one of many companies that trade on unfounded theories about the dangers of vaccines, which have proliferated in the alt-right social media landscape since the pandemic — ideas that are not backed by science.
It sounds a little like the “spike” obsession a lot of anti-vax advocates promote like Jordan Vaughn and Pierre Kory of the FLCCC. I get the sense some people like saying “spike” because it sounds like something dangerous because sharp objects something something. I looked into these claims and the spike protein is not produced indefinitely after vaccination, it degrades. So there’s no reason for a “detox”. It’s a product sold by saying things that don’t make sense to people who’ve already been convinced of something that’s not true. This mixing of misinformation and online marketing is very common.
Of course the biggest tragedy here is that it perpetuates unfounded fears of vaccination among people who had the wherewithal to get vaccinated before, but who are probably not getting new vaccinations because of unfounded claims, which is not good, because people really need to have updated covid protection from one of the latest covid vaccines that are now available in the U.S.
Kash Patel is known for targeting children with propaganda as well, selling children’s books where Donald Trump is depicted as a king. Kash Patel is also known for bungling a SEAL Team Six hostage rescue during the Obama administration.
He needs to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate and apparently there has not been enough pressure from constituents of Republican Senators because reports say he’s getting support for confirmation to the position as FBI director where he will have powers to investigate anyone with the legal system, for whatever bonkers or sinister reason, like the stuff he’s mentioned about going after the media on a fringe extremist podcast.
My letter to US Senators many who are planning to confirm this jackass:
Do not allow the incompetent and highly politicized Kash Patel into any position of leadership in government. He has made the most embarrassingly unAmerican anti free speech comments on fringy podcasts. At best won’t be taken seriously and will bungle things, or worse will carry out personal political vendettas and maybe cost people’s lives like he nearly did with the SEAL team that time.
