Fake COVID bleach cure overview:
- Who: Mark Grenon, Jonathan Grenon, Joseph Grenon, and Jordan Grenon were found guilty of conspiring to defraud the US by distributing a fake COVID-19 cure through their fake online church, Genesis II Church of Health and Healing.
- Why: A U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation found the purported COVID-19 cure contained industrial bleach.
- Where: The case was in Florida federal court.
A father and his three sons were convicted earlier this week by a jury in Florida for conspiring to illegally distribute a fake cure for COVID-19 containing industrial bleach through a fake online church.
Mark Grenon, along with his sons Jonathan Grenon, Joseph Grenon, and Jordan Grenon, were found guilty of conspiring to defraud the US by distributing an unapproved and misbranded drug they called “Miracle Mineral Solution,” reports Law360.
The group reportedly attempted to distribute the bogus COVID-19 cure through a fake online church — called Genesis II Church of Health and Healing — that they founded in 2010 allegedly as a way to evade regulation of the drug by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
An FDA investigation led to the Grenons being charged in 2020, meanwhile, with the jury finding the group guilty of willfully violating an injunction and temporary restraining order put in place to stop them from distributing the drug, reports Law360.
Purported COVID-19 cure manufactured in ‘poop-infested’ shed, said FDA
The Grenon’s reportedly touted their Miracle Mineral Solution as being a cure for up to 95% of all diseases in the world, including ebola, autism, HIV and AIDS, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Prosecutors, however, told the Florida jury during the trial that the Miracle Mineral Solution was manufactured in the backyard of the Grenon’s home in Bradenton, Florida, in a “poop-infested” shed, reports Law360.
Jose Rivera, a special with the FDA, testified, meanwhile, that the active ingredient in the “drug” was sodium chlorite, which, when mixed with water and an acid activatory, created the chlorine dioxide compound commonly used to bleach pulp and paper.
The trial reportedly lasted two days, with the verdict returned by the jury following less than 30 minutes of deliberation. Joseph Grenon said the group planned to appeal the decision, reports Law360.
In 2020, the Department of Justice filed a complaint against a Utah doctor and his company for allegedly selling a fake COVID-19 cure.

Add me please
This is not fake and I am appalled by the government tactics used against anyone posing to keep money out of Big Pharmas control or FDA patton. I’m a member of G2 Church and there are over 56 of the churches worldwide.
