Sorry, the supplement industry industry is a profit making machine which makes unproven and dis proven claims to make money. Most time the evidence they present is shoddy at best and the manufacturing processes are very concerning.

Pharmaceutical medications kill over 200,000 people in the U.S. alone every year!
How many are killed by herbal treatments or supplements?
Not many but 23,000 per year end up hospitalized because of supplements. And how many of those supplements really do anything to cure or treat diseases? Probably not many

Most of it has never been tested and when they are the fail to show results. Often times they do not contain what the labels says they contain or they contain many other unlabeled chemicals. The manufacturing process is not regulated. Supplements are the poster child for "untested" and they are far more risky than any vaccine.

Isn't it amazing how people put full trust in supplements that are not rigorously tested and regulated yet are skeptical of vaccine safety?

So is big pharma.

Funny how that is always forgotten.

Um... what?

You assume every person who is asking questions about the COVID vaccines is choking down a billion supplements every day?

Assumptions are ... well ... you already know.

There are many on here that have professed their faith in supplements over vaccines. This is not a secret.
