He sold vitamin D3 and zinc supplements, which have been proven to address covid-19 infection, under the <em>Wellness Warrior<\/em> brand.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time supplements are being discouraged, excessive deaths following the mRNA injections are ongoing and those who made said injections will not be held liable for any damages done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Pharma Will Not Be Responsible For Covid-19 Side Effects Caused By Vaccines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Starting no later than June 2020, Nepute began advertising a protocol that customers should follow to protect against, prevent or treat covid-19. This protocol, which has varied over time, advises consumers to take daily substantial quantities of emulsified vitamin D3 and zinc<\/em>,\u201d the complaint stated. \u201c<em>No published studies prove vitamin D protects against, treats or prevents covid-19.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The complaint added that Nepute\u2019s \u201c<em>lack of factual or scientific bases for these claims [are] frequently accompanied by equally unsupported assertions regarding applicable science. In short, (the) defendants are selling their products by disseminating information, exploiting fears [amid] a pandemic and posting a significant risk to public health and safety<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>When has that occur? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The federal government is suing me for half a trillion dollars, for telling people to take vitamins<\/em>,\u201d said Nepute, who hosts <em>Real Talk with Dr. Eric Nepute<\/em> on <em>Brighteon.TV<\/em>. \u201c<em>The only reason they\u2019re coming after me \u2013 and they said this \u2013 is because I\u2019m the first doctor they went after and they want to set a precedent. They said they wouldn\u2019t stop until they had \u2018blood on their sword.\u2019 That\u2019s literally from the FTC\u2019s mouth<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for Nepute have already filed a motion to dismiss the government\u2019s case on summary judgment, which includes more than 10 million alleged violations of the <em>Covid-19 Consumer Protection Act<\/em> of 2020 and more than 12 million violations of the <em>FTC Act<\/em>. Each alleged violation carries a maximum civil penalty of $43,792 \u2013 which amounts to a total of more than $500 billion. This penalty, according to the chiropractor\u2019s lawyers, exceeds \u201c<em>the gross domestic product of Austria, Nigeria, and all but 25 nations<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nepute remarked that the FTC is pushing the case \u201c<em>because it\u2019s political<\/em>.\u201d He added: \u201c<em>I\u2019ve spent $3.5 million defending myself.
