US company illegally peddling 'miracle cure' BLEACH for new Covid variants

[bullwinkle428]

Peddlers of industrial bleach who urge Americans to drink the fluid as a “miracle cure” for cancer, HIV/Aids and other diseases have begun touting the product illegally as a treatment for the latest variants of Covid-19.

Chlorine dioxide, a powerful bleaching agent used in textile and paper manufacturing, is being compounded and sold out of a makeshift laboratory in Miami, Florida. The company, Oclo Nanotechnology Science, is playing on fears of the new strain of the coronavirus discovered in the UK, which is now spreading rapidly and widely through the US.

The UK variant, B117, is thought to be more transmissible and deadly than the initial form of the virus.

The Miami company is invoking B117 to drive up sales of its bleach products, which the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns are potentially dangerous and can be life-threatening. The front page of Oclo’s website is dominated by a photograph of vials of its chlorine dioxide product billed as an “antiviral” treatment.

Hmmm...how to market to Trumpanzees...

1. I'm not surprised in the least.

Hucksters and con artists are always there to exploit things that go bad.

Some market their snake oil "in the name of Jay-zus," others yell "FREEDUMB!", still others make claims they never ever try to back up with evidence.

2. And unfortunately, shit like this can gain traction in the wake of the issue

that came up with the J&J vaccine. Was listening to NPR this morning, and they reported the most popular shared video on the site recently was an anti-vax piece posted by a well-known conspiracy theorist.

It is amazing that companies like these can get a foothold in the US!

..............Members of the Grenon family claimed to be “bishops” of the Florida-based Genesis II “church” that sold bleach under the guise that it was a “sacrament”. They remain in jails in Miami and Colombia awaiting extradition to the US facing charges of conspiracy to defraud the US and to introduce a misbranded drug into interstate commerce.

Having taken down Genesis II, the FDA is now facing outcrops of new MMS dealers. Oclo is run by a former Cuban living in Hallandale Beach, north of Miami.

Ricardo Garcia describes himself as a “research and development scientist” trained in chemistry at the University of Havana, though he also identifies as a real estate agent. Most of his customers in the US are Latino Americans.

He is also known to be offering to transport bleach in enema form to Europe for use on autistic children, at a cost of $680 per liter plus shipping..............................

5. and trumpified idiots

will buy this shit. I hope. The prior occupant has screwed up the small progress that had been made in many areas of our culture. Race relations being the most important glue, to me. It will take a very long time for the many trump encouraged and enabled racist individuals who hate based on skin colour alone, to be weeded out of society. If ever.

6. ...and this is why we have regulations

[iemanja]

8. Talk about a million lawsuits waiting to happen

This company is touched.

[flamingdem]

10. Why are they able to keep selling this?

Does Gov. Ron DeathSantis support the product?

[WarGamer]

11. but yet this "company" has no website and no online presence. At all.

Google it.

Only thing there are stories similar to this.
