End Times pastor Jim Bakker’s effort to promote a silver solution sold by his network as a possible cure for the coronavirus has reportedly been quite lucrative, but it has also caused a host of problems for his network. In recent days, Bakker has been warned by the New York Attorney General’s office to stop “making misleading claims” about the product and also ordered by the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission to “immediately cease making all such claims” about the effectiveness of the silver solution.

These orders came after Right Wing Watch posted of clip from Bakker’s program in which he and a guest suggested that the silver solution can kill the coronavirus and heal those who have been infected.
