Source: TheDailyBeast.com
As the global death toll from an alarming new coronavirus surged this week, promoters of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory were urging their fans to ward off the illness by purchasing and drinking dangerous bleach.
The substancedubbed Miracle Mineral Solution or MMShas long been promoted by fringe groups as a combination miracle cure and vaccine for everything from autism to cancer and HIV/AIDS.
The Food and Drug Administration has repeatedly warned consumers not to drink MMS, last year calling it effectively a dangerous bleach that could cause severe vomiting and acute liver failure. But those warnings havent stopped QAnon devoteeswho believe in a world where Donald Trump is at war with shadowy deep-state cabalfrom promoting a lethal substance as a salve for a health crisis that speaks to the darkest recesses of fringe thought.
Im going to have to get home, and MMS the whole state, prominent QAnon promoter Jordan Sather told his audience in a recent video. MMS the whole shit out of everything.

Not fun! I drank diluted bleach as a kid. Couldnt catch my breath, burnt my throat. My mom called Poison Control and was told to make me eat a stick of butter, then take me to the ER. My burps smelled like chlorine for a week!
