Ex-convict, sex scandalist, and TV evangelist Jim Bakker is at it again.

The 'Christian television pioneer' and snake oil entrepreneur is now selling a purported coronavirus cure that also turns you blue for no additional charge.

He's implying in this video clip snipped by @RightWingWatch that a colloidal silver bullshit product he sells will kill coronavirus within 12 hours (it does not).

Only one way to test this out, though.

Dump him in Wuhan with only a bottle of colloidal silver and let God sort it out.

1. Bakker should be sued

[groundloop]

3. Sued hell, he needs to be back in prison for this bullshit.

[Warpy]

8. Perhaps one day soon he will be

but for now we're pretty much doing without the regulatory part of our government because the Orange Slug doesn't like the idea of government telling bidnessmen what they can and can[t do.

They never should have let that vulture out of prison.

Tammy Faye redeemed herself. He just goes back to old scams.

2. That is definitely a killer religion. nt

[Midnight Writer]

4. Well, bless their hearts. I hope their cure works.

[Aussie105]

5. Colloidal silver has been pushed as a remedy for various things in the past.

Don't bother.

Just Google it. lol

[pazzyanne]

9. This is what I found when I googled it:

" Colloidal silver is a mineral. Despite promoters' claims, silver has no known function in the body and is not an essential mineral supplement."

Hmmm, sounds like a scam, doesn't it.

6. Before the coronavirus

...he was hawking that shit as a cure for sexually-transmitted diseases.
Which ones?
ALL of them.

15. I don't feel sorry for them who bought it as a cure for STD's.

As Jimmy says, God don't want you buggering and dipping the wick outside of wedlock. (That don't apply to Jimmy). So's if you get a leaky dubin or a sore on your privates, well that's just God's payback.

7. You mean it's not the QAnon cure?

Good old bleach

[iamthebandfanman]

10. oh for f*cks sake

why isnt this dude in jail *again by now.. Jesus.

[Journeyman]

11. This seems on the up-and-up . . .

Those who get well because the infection was weak and passed will hail him as a savior, while those who die will be dead -- and what the hell can they say against him? A cure right in line with selling seats to salvation to rubes who will die no matter what is said or done in the years leading to their passing.

Whatever gets the wallet open, I gather. Praise Jesus (or whoever must be invoked to make the sale).

12. Jessica Hahn

That is all.

[rpannier]

13. If it kills you, it would likely kill the virus

that's the only crap he sells

[NurseJackie]

14. Those who take it will be easy to spot in a crowd! (So sad.)

[3Hotdogs]

16. Maybe he should send a free care package of the stuff to Rushbo.

Include instruction that the silverC is a cure all and you don't need any other treatment.

[yaesu]

17. A lawless, fascist country full of people dumb enough to follow these cults capitalism fits right in

[Harker]

18. "Scandalist"?

There's a fun new word for the day.

[marble falls]

19. Works for me. I've got twenty bucks to fly Bakker to Wuhan.

[yellowcanine]

20. Thread incomplete without a picture of nutbag Jim Bakker holding up the cure!
