Back in February and April of 2024, The Fascist Guy’s pick to head the FBI, Kash Patel, pimped some bogus supplement company that produced some magic pill that would help people “detox” from Covid vaccines.
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.
Warrior Essentials told NBC News that it was “proud to have Kash Patel as a supporter and advocate.”
“While the so-called ‘experts’ who ignored vaccine injuries and pushed failed policies scramble to defend their narratives, we deliver real, science-backed solutions that have already helped thousands reclaim their health,” the company said.
Warrior Essentials says that its “detox protocol” “promotes the body’s own internal cellular regeneration process” and can remove toxins from cells, repair circulatory health and restore DNA stability. None of those claims are supported by scientific research, according to two medical experts.
“They can’t say with confidence that their product is going to do what it is that they intend it to do,” said Dr. C. Michael White, head of the pharmacy practice department at the University of Connecticut.
