Tom Brady, covidiot
The GOAT is both profiteering off covid fears (by shilling a crackpot "immunity supplement") and openly flouting basic social distancing standards -- not to mention NFLPA rules -- in a state currently seeing a big surge in a COVID hospitalizations. He's telling his fans that covid is nothing to worry about. Good lord.
Well he doesn't live in a nursing home and is otherwise in good shape so COVID is nothing to worry about for him.
He must've majored in kinesiology.
check the daily death data and you will agree with the GOAT
Hundreds of Americans are dying every day from Covid-19. It's a serious issue. Your callous stance toward the death of an alarming number of people is reprehensible.
people are mortal, we all die someday for some reason. we cannot eliminate death. Millions of people die everyday for whatever reason, corona virus is not on the top of the list, not even close.
Average daily death toll in the United States is around 7 or 8 thousand. We have had days where Covid-19 was killing over 3 thousand per day in this country. Not the biggest single cause of death? Sure, that's true. But it kills a lot of people and many of those deaths could be avoided through simple steps like wearing masks in public and avoiding crowded spaces and large gatherings.
Yep. Some simple steps (mainly masks, and older people and people with health conditions being particularly careful) would make SARS-2 far less concerning. 3 million people per year die in the US. SARS-2 so far has killed 130,000. Of those, 90% are people over the age of 55 or with pre-existing health conditions.
This right here. Precisely, kyeblue.
This is illogical. People do things to avoid dying all the time, Covid notwithstanding. They wear seatbelts; take medication for heart disease, diabetes, cancer; gun owners learn gun safety; teenagers take driver's ed. Avoiding death and injury is normal, rational and human nature. If you can avoid it, you do.
If he wants to work out in small groups with his teammates, that seems totally fine to me.
Selling worthless supplements for huge amounts of money is pretty tacky, though.
Encouraging to people to not be concerned about Covid 19 on instagram is extremely irresponsible.
Total lock down does not make sense except in locations where large percentages of the population are infected and transmission rates are out of control to the point where hospital capacity is being overwhelmed.
But it is idiotic to not take basic precautions like wearing masks in public, avoid gathering in large groups in indoor settings and practicing good hygiene.
Millions of people look up to you, Tom Brady. Try to set a good example and don't be an asshole.
Article is largely fearmongering and cheap shots against Brady. But they mentioned covid and Brady in the article and got me to click, so it worked.
Literally no one thinks "I need a medical opinion, what does this NFL QB think I should do?"
That take is naive as fuck. Clearly Brady doesn't know shit about immunology. Clearly Trump doesn't either. But that didn't stop people from dosing themselves with fish tank cleaner after Trump started talking about how great hydroxychloroquine is. Millions of people buy supplements from people like Tom Brady and Alex Jones. Gwyneth Paltrow rakes in huge amounts of money selling unproven healthcare items on her website.
What BlueGoM said is the opposite of naive.
News these days is often just an author's attempt to persuade the reader without much (or any) relevant data. Most of it is no more solid than a TV ad. But most people can't tell the difference because they don't have any training in evaluating such things.
Over/Under
50% of MGoReaders are cucks.
Be honest.
If the wife's boyfriend is Tom Brady, guaranteed to be over.
TB is besties with the fat cheetoh, so there you go.
Just because he doesn't buy into the socialist/totalitarian scam, he's an idiot? He sees right through the bullshit like many of his. You stay locked in your mommy's basement while the rest of us live and have fun!
Given the chance, I would play catch with Tom Brady right now. Hell, I'd play catch with most anyone right now. Playing catch is one of the magic potions in life.
I think Tom Brady is more than capable of throwing a football 6 feet down the field. Social passing distancing.
Unpopular opinion here, but he's a cheating piece of shit.
I lost all respect for him over the inflation cheating and the dishonest way he responded to it.
This confirms that and lowers the bar more.
Deplorable.
You certainly are deplorable.
Yes, turns out he's kind of a piece of shit, notwithstanding having played for our favorite college football team.
Turns out you are.
I just don’t understand why he got into the supplement business. Does he need money? He and Giselle have hundreds of millions.
My question here is: why isn’t the supplement industry regulated by the FDA?! What the hell is that about?
I think the lack of regulation had something to do with huge amounts of lobbying dollars getting shoveled into the pockets of politicians and one influential senator owning a massive supplement business in the 1990s.
The FDA does regulate dietary supplements in that you can't make certain claims in your advertising (or they will shut you down), and only certain things qualify as being classified as dietary supplements (and if they don't fall into that classification, they will shut you down).
If dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.) needed to go through the same FDA-approval process as drugs, a bottle of vitamins would cost $100 and a lot of currently available supplements would become unavailable.
There are people who believe that it should be possible to make, sell, buy, and use compounds that are available in nature and considered safe to consume, without needing some agency's permission to do so or requiring permission from some group of citizens who think they know best what you should and should not consume.
I can give you a personal example. I take four supplements: a daily multivitamin, a little extra vitamin D, fish oil, and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). None of those have gone through an FDA drug-approval process. All of them have some evidence of benefit and some evidence of being useless -- or even not healthful in doses that are too high. I take them because of my own research into their benefits as filtered through my own knowledge and reasoning. But I get to decide if I want to take them and don't need the government's approval or need to convince other citizens that I should be able to take those.
Very good points. I would say there’s a risk to having no testing though - especially with exercise stuff. They are selling androgens and extremely toxic stuff that’s completely unregulated. Established supplements like vitamins and such don’t need testing. There’s got to be a way to do better. But your post is very good and thanks.
Synthetic androgens are FDA regulated.
According to the FDA on synthetic androgens: "Although the products identified in the warning letters are marketed and labeled as dietary supplements, they are not dietary supplements. The products are unapproved drugs that have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety and effectiveness."
If you are selling what the FDA considers to be an unapproved drug, they send you a warning letter. If you don't then stop selling it, you get federally prosecuted and shut down.
I suspect that it is not an issue with regulation but an issue with people wanting to buy and use it regardless of what the FDA says. Also, it would not surprise me to learn that it is manufactured offshore, where the FDA can't effectively go, and sold by little shell companies in the US. So the FDA gets to play whack-a-mole.
jeebus... Can we just ban the covid posts already?
Brady--beyond criticism on this site....yet again
It isn't anything to worry about, unless you draw the line for 'worry' somewhere around driving across the country, going to work when you feel sick, letting your kids play in a rainstorm, regularly showering, or about a zillion other things.
