Steve Bannon: Wellness Warrior?

[douglas9]

Former Trump adviser and former Breitbart News chief Steve Bannon does not radiate “pinnacle of health.” The portly, cigar-smoking, possibly former alcoholic is not known for his workout ethic. But like many a far-right media figure, including Trump himself (once upon a time), Bannon is now hawking vitamins as a “Wellness Warrior.”

People have called Bannon a lot of things over the years. Wellness Warrior is not one of them. Yet Bannon now appears in ads on his website for “The War Room Defense Pack,” a collection of zinc and Vitamin D3, with the slogan, “You can’t fight if you’re sick!” Anyone ordering a free sample is treated to a complimentary “War Room Viral Defense Guide,” which doesn’t come right out and say it’s offering a COVID cure, lest Bannon run into trouble with the FDA. But the savvy consumer will be able to read through the lines. Despite a lack of any scientific evidence, lots of conspiracy theorists, and fanatical promoters of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID cure and prophylactic, believe zinc and Vitamin D can cure or prevent COVID. Bannon is clearly tapping into that demographic.

1. Wow zinc and vitamin D, what a visionary

[marble falls]

2. No offense, but VA says vitamin D and Zinc help to prevent Covid from occuring and help ...

... prevent damage from an infection. It's not magic, it's not a cure, but it helps and that's science.

about Bannon: why isn't he in jail????

He's taking just one tool in fighting in Covid and making false claims.

4. Well, it looks like he washed his hair. That's an improvement.

Beyond that, Bannon isn't the type to hawk health programs. The days of circus barkers/snake-oil salesmen are long gone.

(The statement about washing his hair was made before I saw the photo above. I retract that statement.) Just sayin'.

6. The funniest thing I ever read about Bannon was

that he looked like a guy who stayed up all night until 6:30 AM watching porn and his alarm was set for 7AM.
