Neither. I'd go "wow, those are some brazen snake oil salesmen".
I'd also be incredibly disappointed if any of my tax money were to be wasted on crap like that.

Vitamins arnt snake oil.... they do infact do things to the body that are helpfull (this is proven beyound a doubt), and likewise a lack of such.

Now theres a study that shows your 10 times more likely to die, if you lack vitamin D, to Covid19.

"I'd also be incredibly disappointed if any of my tax money were to be wasted on crap like that."

But its fine, if you spent tax money getting 29million doses of hydroxychloroquine, without knowing if it worked on covid19?
Trump actually bought that, only to lateron find out it actually makes things worse for those infected.

Trump also ordered for 69million USD, of ventilators after getting a tweet offering to sell him ventilators.
They havnt gotten a single unit yet, of those.


But sending every home a bottle of vitamin D suppliments would be a waste of tax money?

New York State placed that order in response to the tweet at Trump.  Can we at least keep facts straight?  It's the reason I come into this thread as little as possible.

As New York state grappled with the devastating effects of the novel coronavirus, officials paid more than $69 million for 1,450 ventilators that they never received after enlisting the help of a California man who responded to one of President Trump’s tweets

Within days, New York ordered 1,450 ventilators for $69.1 million, which, according to the report, means each item costs $47,656 – or at least three times the standard price.

On March 30, Oren-Pines received what the report called “the largest single payment made by the New York Department of Health under an executive order issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month.

Cuomo’s executive order allowed the state to pay for medical supplies before an order was filled
