Florida 'Church of Healing' Leader and Sons Sentenced to Prison for Selling Fake COVID-19 Cure

A Florida father and his three sons have been sentenced to up to 12 years in prison for selling toxic bleach, marketed as a 'miracle cure' for COVID-19, through a fake church website. The Grenon family, based in Bradenton, Florida, made $1 million by selling Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), a chemical solution containing sodium chlorite that turns into chlorine dioxide when mixed with water. They claimed that ingesting MMS could treat and cure COVID-19. The Federal Drug Administration never approved MMS for any use and warned of its dangerous side effects. The family was found guilty of conspiring to defraud the U.S. government and FDA.
