O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Jim Bakker and his southwestern Missouri church will
pay restitution of $156,000 to settle a lawsuit that accuses the TV pastor
of falsely claiming a health supplement could cure COVID-19.
Missouri court records show that a settlement agreement was filed Tuesday.
It calls for refunds to people who paid money or gave contributions to
obtain a product known as Silver Solution in the early days of the
pandemic.
The settlement also prohibits Bakker and Morningside Church Productions
Inc. from advertising or selling Silver Solution “to diagnose, prevent,
mitigate, treat or cure any disease or illness.” Bakker, in the agreement,
does not admit wrongdoing.
Republican Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued Bakker and
Morningside in March 2020. Schmitt sought an injunction ordering Bakker to
stop selling Silver Solution as a treatment for COVID-19 on his streaming
TV program, The Jim Bakker Show. The lawsuit said Bakker and a guest made
the cure claim during 11 episodes in February and March of 2020.

Schmitt said in a news release on Wednesday that Bakker has already made
restitution to many consumers, and must pay back another $90,000 to
others.
The hour-long Jim Bakker Show is filmed in southwestern Missouri. The
consent agreement notes that during the program, Silver Solution was
offered to those who agreed to contribute $80 to $125.
Baker’s attorneys — Derek Ankrom and former Democratic Missouri Gov. Jay
Nixon — said in a joint statement that Bakker and Morningside Church
Productions are pleased to put the matter behind them so they can
“continue the important work of Morningside Church.” They noted that the
agreement includes “no findings whatsoever that our clients violated any
laws or misled” consumers.
Nixon had previously claimed that Bakker was being unfairly targeted “by
those who want to crush his ministry and force his Christian television
program off the air,” and that Bakker did not claim that Silver Solution
was a cure for COVID-19.
The lawsuit cited a discussion on the program on Feb. 12, 2020, in which
Bakker spoke with Sherrill Sellman, referring to her as a “naturopathic
doctor” and a “natural health expert.”
“This influenza that is now circling the globe, you’re saying that Silver
Solution would be effective?” Bakker asks. Sellman, according to the
lawsuit, replies: “Well, let’s say it hasn’t been tested on this strain of
the coronavirus, but it has been tested on other strains of the
coronavirus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours.”
“Yeah,” Bakker says.
“Totally eliminate it, kills it. Deactivates it,” Sellman replies,
according to the lawsuit.
Also in March 2020, U.S. regulators warned Bakker’s company and six others
to stop selling items using what the government called false claims that
they could treat the coronavirus or keep people from catching it. Letters
sent jointly by the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade
Commission warned the companies that their products for treating COVID-19
were fraudulent, “pose significant risks to patient health and violate
federal law.”
Silver Solution, a form of colloidal silver, consists of silver particles
suspended in a liquid. The solution is often described by manufacturers as
having the power to boost the immune system and cure diseases. But it has
no known benefit in the body when ingested, according to officials with
the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, a federal
scientific research agency.
Experts say ingesting colloidal silver can have serious side effects. The
NCCIH says it can turn skin blue when silver builds up in the body’s
tissue.
Nixon, who served two terms as governor from 2009 to 2017 and is now a
partner at the Dowd Bennett law firm in St. Louis, said Bakker immediately
complied with orders to stop offering Silver Solution on his show and
ministry website after receiving the warning letters from the FDA and FTC.
Meanwhile, Arkansas’ attorney general filed a lawsuit similar to
Missouri’s in June 2020. That case is still pending.

What can you conclude from this statistics Trumpster?
It's not rocket-surgery ya know.
Unvaccinated Individuals Are 11 Times More Likely to Die From
Covid-19
According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), unvaccinated individuals are 11 times more
likely to die from Covid-19 than those who are fully inoculated,
reports NPR’s Vanessa Romo. The study, published in the CDC’s
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on September 10,
also found vaccinated individuals were almost five times less
likely to get infected with the virus and ten times less likely
to end up hospitalized due to complications from the virus.

BIG LIE From Wiki - "The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler
when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie
so *colossal* that no one would believe that someone "could have the
impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

There is no verifiable evidence that gender dysphoria can be treated in
other ways than transitioning. None whatsoever.
Gender-affirmative trans care *requires* therapy. That is, unless you go
the informed consent route, which you can always refuse to.
Scaring trans people away from transitioning and repressing their
identities *IS* conversion therapy.
