Argentinian authorities charged Andreas Kalcker, a German national, with falsely promoting a type of toxic bleach as a medical cure.
Remember back on April 23, 2020, when Donald Trump went on national television and suggested that bleach would be a great cure for the coronavirus?
"I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."
Trump later claimed that he was being sarcastic, specifically to trick the "fake news media" into reporting, well, exactly what he'd said. Great "trick." But anyway, did you ever wonder where he got such a ridiculous idea? Well, it may have been a letter sent to him a few days earlier from Mark Grenon, the head of a so-called "nonreligious church" in Florida, touting the benefits of ingesting chlorine bleach as a "miracle cure":
"Grenon styles himself as 'archbishop' of Genesis II – a Florida-based outfit that claims to be a church but which in fact is the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a 'miracle cure' in the US. He brands the chemical as MMS, 'miracle mineral solution', and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism. Since the start of the pandemic, Genesis II has been marketing MMS as a cure to coronavirus. It advises users, including children, to mix three to six drops of bleach in water and drink it."
The FDA formally announced that claims calling MMS a "miracle cure" are false, and got a federal judge to issue an order prohibiting Grenon and his "church" from selling MMS. In response, Grenon defiantly wrote the FDA that there "will be NO corrective actions on our part … You have no authority over us! … Never going to happen." Unsurprising, given that Grenon was raking in around $120,000 per month peddling his fraudulent cure-all.
The U.S. Department of Justice ultimately charged Grenon with "conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and criminal contempt." His miracle cure "is alleged to have caused [the] death of 7 US citizens." He was arrested in Colombia for extradition to the United States.
Unfortunately, Grenon was far from the only quack pushing MMS. Meet Andreas Kalcker, who claims to be "Chief research at Swiss Center for Scientific Research, Innovation and Development." No such organization exists, and Kalcker is not registered in Switzerland as a medical professional of any kind. It appears that he bought a fake certificate online to pass himself off as an expert.
"Kalcker, alongside several Argentinian nationals, is accused by authorities of playing a key role in promoting chlorine dioxide in the country as a cure for various illnesses, including COVID-19, in conferences, books, and on social media. ...
"Chlorine dioxide is a type of industrial bleaching agent commonly used to treat wood products. Public health authorities around the world have issued warnings about taking the substance, with the US Food and Drugs Administration warning that it can be fatal if taken in large doses.
In recent years, a movement originating in a fake Florida 'church' has promoted the substance it calls 'Miracle Mineral Solution' (MMS), or 'Chlorine Dioxide Solution' (CDS), as a cure for a range of illnesses and condition. ...
"In Bolivia, the misinformation campaign led by Kalcker succeeded in persuading the government to legitimize chlorine dioxide as a COVID-19 treatment despite the absence of any evidence that it is safe or effective as a medical treatment."
In Argentina, the parents of a five-year-old boy believed Kalcker's misinformation and gave him MMS to protect him against COVID-19. The boy died of chlorine dioxide poisoning. Kalcker has now been arrested and charged with "illegal practice of the medical profession and selling fake medicines."
