Another YouTuber says in a caption: “I can’t state for a fact that MMS can treat Corona but big pharma has no answers and MMS has been proven safe and effective.” (As stated above, it has not.)įor its part, YouTube says it is attempting to curb the spread of misinformation related to coronavirus by, among other things, prioritizing authoritative sources such as news organizations in search results for the term. “Depending on the illness you have or the sickness you have, there’s various protocols for each illness,” he said.

One 18-minute video plugging the Genesis II Church consists of a series of testimonials to the efficacy of 20-20-20 spray in another, a YouTuber reads Humble’s newsletter about coronavirus and MMS and urges viewers to buy an MMS guidebook. Last November, for instance, YouTube said it had updated its policy to explicitly ban videos touting the effects of MMS.ĭespite the ban, it is still fairly easy to find such videos on the platform. In the wake of intense criticism surrounding social platforms turning a blind eye to such misinformation, some have taken a cursory stab at removing MMS content. Most recently, however, Humble has pivoted to marketing MMS as an effective palliative for coronavirus, writing in a January 27th newsletter, “I have reason to believe, MMS (chlorine dioxide), can be very effective in both preventing and eradicating the coronavirus.… I would say, let MMS be your first line of defense.” In recent years, MMS has been touted on social media as a miracle cure for everything from malaria to HIV/AIDS last year, the FDA issued an official warning urging people to avoid MMS when it was reported that mothers were using the product to “cure” their children of autism spectrum disorder. If ingested in large amounts, the product can result in “severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration, and acute liver failure,” according to a statement from the Food and Drug Administration last year. The primary ingredient is sodium chlorite, which, when mixed with an “activator” citric acid such as lemon juice, creates chlorine dioxide, a form of bleach. MMS is primarily sold by the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, a Mexican church led by a man known as Archbishop Jim Humble, a former aerospace research engineer, health food store manager, and gold prospector who claims to have discovered MMS while mining for gold in South Africa.
And by their logic, we better get rid of the Sun too because it can ‘bleach.’ CD can be helpful if used right. … you can buy tablets of it for $10 on Amazon to make water potable. He has (incorrectly) claimed there is “evidence” that MMS can cure coronavirus and recorded a video in which he advocated for “MMS the whole state, MMS the shit out of everything.” In response to criticism that he was spreading dangerous medical misinformation, he doubled down on such claims, tweeting, “ChLoRiNe DiOxiDe is so DeAdLy that…. Since the spread of the disease was initially reported, he has devoted his Twitter account to fomenting misinformation about the disease, (inaccurately) claiming that the virus was the product of a 2015 patent for avian coronavirus and implying that it was created in a Chinese lab.
As Rolling Stone reported last week, prominent QAnon supporter and YouTuber Jordan Sather bears much responsibility for perpetuating such claims. These plugs for MMS usually go hand-in-hand with general theories alleging that coronavirus was manufactured in a lab, usually by conspiracy-theorist favorite Bill Gates, for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry.
