As coronavirus cases climb in Florida, Tom Brady is selling $45 'immunity' vitamins

Tom Brady promised a big announcement today, and, well basically it’s a fancy jar of unproven coronavirus supplements.

This morning, while COVID-19 cases continue to grow in Florida and gyms reopen to the public, the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and six-time Super Bowl champ announced he’s selling a non-FDA approved, homeopathic medley of vitamins that allegedly will “activate your immune system.”
 

 

Appropriately called “Protect,” the vitamins essentially contain the same ingredients as a $12 pack of Emergency-C, but with more coronavirus-buzzworthy additions like elderberries and larch tree.

Of course, Protect is being co-released under Brady’s TB12 brand and nutrition start-up VitalFit, which his company acquired back in January.

Brady announced the new supplements on Twitter. "PROTECT is our new immunity blend supplement created to support a healthy immune system to help you stay strong," wrote the quarterback.

"Check this out, you're gonna love it!" added Brady in an Instagram Live post.

If you make it to the supplement's website, you'll find a lengthy pitch, aimed at athletes whose bodies may now be susceptible to "bacteria, viruses and outside threats."

“Tough workouts, long days, and too much stress can leave you—and your immune system — burnt out. Research shows that everyday stress can limit the production of white blood cells while high-intensity training can reduce levels of key antibodies — leaving your body susceptible to bacteria, viruses, and outside threats,” reads the TB12 website, which seems to be going out of it’s way to say everything excerpt “Hey, take these while working out during the coronavirus outbreak.”

“From supporting natural killer cells to replenishing antibodies post-exercise, Protect helps activate your immune system and counter stress-induced immune suppression so you can stay active, resilient, and ready for whatever comes your way,” continues the site.

Sure, all of this may be true, and why not take some vitamins right now?

But it’s hard to ignore the timing of the release and the asterisk on the front label that states: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”

Strangely, Protect already has one review on its site (for 5 stars no less), from some guy named HR, even though it debuted today and there's a giant red warning on the site that says "due to circumstances beyond our control related to COVID-19, orders containing this item may take an additional 3-5 business days to ship."

But this isn't anything new for Brady, as CBS Senior Editor Chris Towers pointed out, the QB also once endorsed a sports drink that promoted concussion "protection." 

A literal snake oil salesman.

What a dick.

That is all.

Huh?

rebranding vita c and adding elderberries and marking it up is just business 

[Bleedin Green]

He really does not have one likable trait about him.

Regardless of how the Jets do, I will get serious enjoyment if both the Pats and Tampa come to implode in glorious fashion.

[Spoot-Face]

I'm surprised they're not suppositories.

[Barry McCockinner]

He looks like one of those aggressive mall stand sales people who you can never make eye contact with or they'll be holding you hostage pitching you their garbage product.

Vitamin C and D are said to provide some level of resistance against the COVID-19. I don’t see how this is a d*ck move. If anything, it’s a marketing strategy to introduce this as an immunity supplement. Thousands of people will claim they took these pills and never got COVID-19 but it’s probably cuz they would never come in contact with covid-19 patient. Anyways, #ShadyBrady has done far worse to bash him and this isn’t remotely close to them.

Snake oil salesman during a pandemic?  WTF is this moron thinking?  You're right.  Brady is a bigger POS than I imagined.

Let's hope he takes a Bruce Smith into Boomer Esiason-type hit on the Bucs' first play this season.  That should be some sort of karma.

He did an interview on Colbert (I think) a couple years ago after he lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles.

He came across as soulless. He had this scarily fake grin with unnaturally white teeth, to go along with his fake hair. He is one of the least charismatic people I’ve ever seen.

Your probably right but anyone in their right mind can buy this stuff at the drugstore at half the price.

Italians have the perfect word to describe Brady, "antipatico", which means unpleasant or disagreeable.  A person who by their very nature comes across as unlikeable to almost everyone.

yep.  i dislike tommy boy but you gotta give him some credit for whatever he's doing healthwise to be able to play at such a high level for so long.  and it's not just about cheating.

as for his immunity product, it's not that much of a reach to suggest that americans don't eat very well.  oh they eat a lot but it's not always very healthy.  and as you said, there are some indications that some vitamin defficiencies may contribute to catching corona.  and if he didn't do it it would be some rapper clone or surfer from Kalifornia.

The man’s a career cheat on the field, not sure why anyone would think that would not translate over into his business life.

And that's why capitalism like the imperialism it grew out of is inherently flawed. No human can act rationally when we're allowed to have such deception and false marketing being so prevelant.

 

When Ludwig Von Mises wrote Human Action I can't imagine he could faintly imagine a scum bag on Tom Brad's level being born.

You say that as if alternative systems aren't inherently flawed as well

Yeah, because it's not like you could already buy vitamins at a much cheaper price.

Maybe he could sell it at a reasonable price. 

However, helping fools to part with their money is part of business too, at times, so there's that.

It's from a South Park episode.

And a lot of us should probably be erasing our search histories. I just google searched "fat male poison ivy cosplay" for a different thread. Google probably has me on a weird list lol.
