Description: He was told to sit down, be quiet, and stop talking about his case. He spent the next three years on every stage that would have him. In 2021, Dr. Eric Nepute became the first person in the United States ever charged under the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act — a statute signed into law only months earlier, and one that expired along with the public health emergency. He is, almost certainly, the only person who ever will be.In this conversation, Dr. Jason Bradley and James Chester sit down with the St. Louis chiropractor and Bio Limitless founder for his account of what the next six years cost him: frozen accounts, a law firm that had to drop him mid-fight, an ownership vote that removed him from his own company, and a settlement offer he says he turned down three separate times. Nepute walks through the case as he experienced it — the Friday-afternoon phone call, the expert witness his team investigated, the three choices he says he was finally given, and why he kept speaking in public the entire time he was told not to.It is also a conversation about why all three men in the room came out of chiropractic, what the Wilk v. AMA history has to do with any of this, and how a profession that spent a century being told it was quackery produced the people most willing to say something now.This episode is a personal account, not a legal summary.
