Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is the latest purveyor of silver-laced potions ordered to stop peddling fake cures for the coronavirus.
Jones claimed on his radio show last week that his Silverblue toothpaste "kills the whole SARS-corona family at point-blank range," according to a news release on Thursday by New York Attorney General Letitia James. She ordered Jones to immediately refrain from selling the toothpaste and other products as cures on his website, InfoWars.
"As the coronavirus continues to pose serious risks to public health, Alex Jones has spewed outright lies and has profited off of New Yorkers' anxieties," James, a Democrat, said in a statement. "Mr. Jones's public platform has not only given him a microphone to shout inflammatory rhetoric, but his latest mistruths are incredibly dangerous."
Infowars did not immediately return a request for comment.
The prosecutor's warning to Jones, known for promoting conspiracy theories about mass shootings and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, came days after his arrest on charges of driving while intoxicated in Austin, Texas.
The Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission recently told televangelist Jim Bakker to stop claiming his silver potions could cure the coronavirus.
There are no FDA-approved vaccines or drugs to treat or prevent COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and there is no scientific evidence that alternative remedies can stop or cure the illness, according to the National Institutes of Health. Colloidal silver liquid containing silver particles can, in fact, be dangerous to your health, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Well, I am shocked!
So far the only thing we know for certain is that silver can kill a werewolf. Rumors that it kills vampires are just that.
My great-uncle, who was born in 1880, grew up on a dairy farm, and died at the age of 97 used to keep silver dollars in his milk jugs. Said it kept the milk fresh.
Just because they are not FDA approved doesn’t mean they are fake.
Here’s a real one : colloidal silver
Kills the virus dead!
I guarantee it will kill that one and any other virus you want to put forth
as well as any bacteria
go ahead and Google and search E. coli in a 100 ppm solution and see what percentage are dead within two minutes five minutes an hour
Are you deniers and vaccine proponents- go ahead and prove me wrong
Attack me and call me any names you want - and I’ll keep putting the truth in your face!
Truth
Over
The medical profiteers
There is an easy way to tell shit from Shinola...
Does the military use it?
If true then silver prices will spike.
I’ve always thought the modern medicine had a lot of catching up to do in terms of ancient and folk remedies. Scientists tend to be skeptical.
My grandmother grew beautiful roses and used to put a penny in the bottom of vases to keep them fresh.
Seriously? That fool was overdosing on a home-made concoction of silver salts.
Colloidal silver is proven to be effective against viral and bacterial infection.
Silver tableware has been used since ancient times for that very reason. Same deal with silver coins in the water/milk jug.
Please tell us that you were just trying to be funny.
Do you ever get tired of this? Sheesh. More power to you though. You should have the right to pursue whatever you think works.
And there you have the reason for, and background for yet another assault on a perhaps a charlatan or perhaps just someone who wishes to make a difference.
" microphone to shout inflammatory rhetoric, but his latest mistruths are incredibly dangerous". sounds like a legal mouth piece talking. Seems like Mr. Jones is in the news, more and more lately.
The old saying born with a silver spoon has as much meaning from being “in the pink” to being rich as well.
Our kids rarely get sick when we give them the colloidal silver.
No one is more gullible than an Alex Jones fan.
It’s Alex. What do you expect
Oh puhleeeze
Colloidal silver as used in medicine is for EXTERNAL use only. It is used in burn cases
It is a heavy metal. Should not be ingested
