FDA Says Alex Jones Can't Market His Products As Coronavirus Cures

Alex Jones, the famous conservative provocateur who has gotten into some trouble in the past for making some outlandish claims, has been told by the FDA that he needs to stop marketing his supplements as treatments for the Coronavirus.

Evidently, the FDA did not endorse claims Alex Jones made that people should buy his products "if you are concerned about the coronavirus or the flu or the common cold." Some specific products the FDA flagged include "Superblue Silver Immune Gargle," "SuperSilver Whitening Toothpaste," "SuperSilver Wound Dressing Gel," and "Superblue Fluoride Free Toothpaste."

According to a letter from the FDA, the federal agency determined that InfoWars was marketing its products "to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19". One quote the FDA singled out was from a Jones video in which he stated, "I’m not going to belabor this, I’m just gonna tell ya, that for just your daily life, and your gums and your teeth and for regular viruses and bacteria, the patented Nano Silver we have, the Pentagon has come out and documented, and homeland security have said this stuff kills the whole SARS corona family, at point blank range. Well of course it does, it kills every virus."

The letter, sent April 9th, said Jones had 48 hours to rectify the situation. The letter comes a month after the New York Attorney General ordered Jones to stop marketing his supplements as Coronavirus treatments.
