       i never understood why people so distrustful someone might be trying to profit from a vaccine so trust people who are ostentatiously hawking supplements for money.

       @interfluidity@zirk.us My most charitable explanation is that it's a version of the "hard work always pays off" misconception. As in, something you take every day must be more effective than something you get once or twice in your life.Less charitable: they're cry babies who are afraid of needles.

       @jonginsf it's hard to due better in terms of regulatory capture than the supplement industry, which has basically gotten itself exempted from regulation. FDA can hold supplement sellers accountable for lying about the contents of the tin. beyond that, caveat emptor!(supplement providers are not exempt from consumer liability, but it's hard to win if the consumer elected to eat what was on the label, even if that proves an unwise health choice.)
