3. Miracle minerals

Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other health authorities in other countries warned about the dangers to health of drinking MMS (miracle mineral supplement) but that hasn’t stopped some people on social media from promoting it as some sort of miracle cure.

One YouTuber has been highlighted as a spreader of misinformation regarding MMS. Jordan Sather, who has many thousands of followers across different platforms has been claiming that MMS, despite containing chlorine dioxide – a bleaching agent, can “wipe out” coronavirus.

He tweeted in January, before the outbreak hit pandemic status, that “not only is chlorine dioxide (aka MMS) an effective cancer cell killer, it can wipe out coronavirus too”.

However, the FDA dismisses such claims, saying “it is not aware of any research showing that these products are safe or effective for treating any illness”. Warning that drinking them can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and symptoms of severe dehydration.
