1st Ammendment NoMas Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I just got mine in the mail. Awesome stuff. I kicked coronavirus ass, threw a 30 yd rope to a 12 year old kid, slam dunked a basketball, ran a marathon and then threw my boss through the window for being a Patriots fan. It was all going good until then. The cops came, I got explosive diarrhea, vomited up a Super Bowl ring that I stole and hopped into a white Bronco. Typing as I drive.... 5

I mean, why would Tom Freaking Brady be pimping health supplements? He's already richer than God and certainly doesn't need the money or publicity. The doofus just believes that this crap works. It's not like we don't have other figures in high places believing in magic elixirs with no proof of efficacy. 2

If it doesn't affect him personally, he doesn't feel a sense of responsibility to those that are easily taken advantage of. Just a hunch. 1

Because he is charging too much for what is essentially Vitamin C and he is claiming it will help you fight off viruses (like COVID-19). It's snake oil. It's right up the alley of all his other TB12 products that have no scientific backing and plenty of criticisms from healthcare professionals and nutritionists. Edited May 19, 2020 by MJS

If people are dumb enough to buy it, so what? It says clearly on there it's not meant to cure any diseases, etc.
Don Otreply Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Well, he is and always has been a shyster, and has always been happy to benefit from cheating someone. It’s his claim to fame, they used to tar and feather these sort of people... but some worship him... Edited May 19, 2020 by Don Otreply 1

It actually doesn't mention COVID-19 anywhere in the promotion, other than the delayed shipping. Why isn't anyone busting GNC's balls for selling snake oil supplements?
