FDA, FTC order Jim Bakker to stop selling a fake coronavirus cure

Last week we noted that the New York Attorney General’s office had sent Jim Bakker a cease and desist order instructing him to stop “making misleading claims” regarding the silver solution that his network sells. That order came after we posted of clip from Bakker’s program in which he and a guest suggested that the solution can kill the coronavirus and heal those who have been infected.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission followed suit, sending Bakker a letter informing him that he is to “immediately cease making all such claims” and that he has 48 hours to “review your websites, product labels, and other labeling and promotional materials to ensure that you are not representing your products for a COVID-19 related use for which they have not been approved by FDA, and that you do not make claims that misbrand the products in violation of the FD&C Act.”

I found out about him bc of a previous thread about him. I was horrified. He paid a church secretary to keep quiet about raping her. Among other insanely horrible things. Him exploiting ppl during this global crisis just fits w his character!!! HORRIBLE.

well to be fair, he exploits people when there is nothing going on, the guy sells buckets of terrible food saying, "Buy as much as you can for when the apocalypse happens."

He reminds me of villains in cartoons bc he's so obviously bad but yet in those shows the adults still don't see it.

Yeah my father likes him and it drives me crazy, he's clearly a con man who will never change no matter how many times he says sorry to Jesus when he gets into trouble.

Used to watch a podcast that mocked his buckets of food he would sell to elderly people for when the end times come. Most of those people look like they're about to drop dead, much less need years worth of crap food lol. It was also funny when he also said the bucket of food could be used as a chair or a toilet when you're done eating out of them.. lol.

I really have no idea. Weird too that he hates Trump and criticizes Christians for defending him. He should be able to easily see through Jim Bakker, lol.

I'm sure this will guarantee that sales of Peter Popoff's Miracle Spring Water will go through the roof now.

Well, he did do 5 years in prison for fraud. But who is to stop him from being in power? He has First Amendment right to his religious beliefs, and First Amendment rights to spread his lies. The government can't and shouldn't do anything about him.

What should happen is that people shouldn't flock to follow a guy who's done federal prison time for fraud, but people ain't got no sense.

How come when ppl are having tantrums saying that "liberals want to give rapists & fraudsters the right to vote" he never comes up? Or all the other privileged ppl who went to prison bc of severely awful horrible terrible things.

Ok that's a rhetorical q. But one that came to mind.

His current shenanigans should be illegal. Defrauding the public to take advantage a public health problem should land his butt in jail.

Bakker said on his show today that all of these legal problems have caused credit card processing companies to cut off his ministry, and so donations can now only be accepted via check.

“Some of the biggest companies have come against us,” Bakker said. “Right now, you cannot use a credit card … You can give by check. That’s the only way you can give right now.”

That makes me sad bc only old ppl use checks & they're the most vulnerable to being scammed

Bakker has had a stroke, according to his wife.

Famed televangelist Jim Bakker recently had a stroke, his wife said. His eponymous TV show will continue to film without him while he recovers.

Lori Bakker announced her 80-year-old husband would take a sabbatical from "The Jim Bakker Show," the Christian TV program the couple cohosts.

Working nonstop took a "huge toll" on her husband's health, she said. Bakker was recently sued by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt for claiming a silver product could kill coronavirus.

In March, Schmitt, the Missouri Attorney General, sued Bakker and "The Jim Bakker Show" production company for misrepresenting "Silver Solution" as a coronavirus cure.

"Anyone who has bought 'Silver Solution' from 'The Jim Bakker Show' should know that it cannot cure or treat coronavirus," the Missouri Attorney General office announced in a statement.
