A St. Louis-based chiropractor, Dr. Eric Nepute is\u00a0facing federal fines of about half a trillion dollars<\/a>\u00a0for allegedly profiting from sales of vitamin D3 and zinc supplements during the \u201cpandemic.\u201d The 27-page complaint filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in April 2021 accused Dr. Nepute of profiting from the sales of supplements during the COVID-19 scamdemic. He sold vitamin D3 and zinc supplements, which have been proven to address COVID-19 infection, under the Wellness Warrior brand. 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 The complaint added that Nepute\u2019s \u201clack of factual or scientific bases for these claims [are] frequently accompanied by equally unsupported assertions regarding applicable science.\u00a0In 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe federal government is suing me for half a trillion dollars\u00a0\u2026 for telling people to take vitamins,\u201d said Nepute, who hosts \u201cReal Talk with Dr. Eric Nepute\u201d on\u00a0Brighteon.TV<\/a>. \u201cThe only reason they\u2019re coming after me\u00a0\u2013 and they said this\u00a0\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<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s literally from the FTC\u2019s mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n Lawyers for Nepute have already filed a motion to dismiss the government\u2019s case on summary judgment, including more than 10 million alleged violations of the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act of 2020 and more than 12 million violations of the FTC Act. 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 \u201cthe gross domestic product of Austria, Nigeria, and all but 25 nations.\u201d\u00a0-Natural News<\/a><\/p>\n Nepute remarked that the FTC is pushing the case \u201cbecause it\u2019s political.\u201d He added: \u201cI\u2019ve spent $3.5 million defending myself. The only tactic they have is to drag this out, so I can\u2019t afford to take it to trial.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Nepute explains that his lawyer presented over 100 peer-reviewed studies and over 24 randomized controlled studies in support of vitamin D and other early treatments for COVID. He said that a 600,000 person study reported this month that if the government had recommended vitamin D for COVID, the lives of about 116,000 Americans could have been saved just in 2020. He points out that people died because the government suppressed this information. Dr. Nepute points out that the Department of Defense recommends vitamin D, zinc, and vitamin C as part of their COVID protocol in their manual! He says even Tony Fauci recommends it.<\/p>\n
