The claims in the video grossly misrepresent the nature and safety of cyanocobalamin supplements: https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/02/fact-check-cyanocobalamin-in-b12-supplements-is-not-harmful.html https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-health-and-nutrition-pseudoscience/oh-my-there-cyanide-b12-supplements-really https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/08/15/fact-check-b-12-found-childrens-vitamins-safe-consume/10278967002/ https://www.healthline.com/health/airborne-vs-emergen-c#about-emergen-c

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1899184787664916812

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
