The FDA had not authorized any at-home test for COVID-19 — but RootMD's marketing materials appeared to suggest the agency had vetted its 'at-home Covid-19 exposure and immunity tests.' The company has now reached a settlement with the LA city attorney.

In his Facebook Live video, Vojdani claimed,"Colloidal silver is very well demonstrated to have antiviral properties and antibacterial properties" and recommended"using colloidal silver spray in the nose as a preventative measure."

If your test results came back positive, the RootMD site claimed,"you will be able to confidently put those around you at ease by helping them know with certainty that they can't contract the coronavirus from you.""There is just no data on whether someone with antibodies against the virus is protected from reinfection," explained, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who researches coronaviruses, in an email.

Dr. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, says his agency will"go after" companies that make misleading statements about their coronavirus tests.Dr. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, says his agency will"go after" companies that make misleading statements about their coronavirus tests.

Government in LA is busy trying to stop anything that may help.

Snake oil salesmen are still alive and flim-flamming in the 21st century. 🤦‍♀️

Next will come a home kit to cure C19, and tossed into the deal, will be a guaranteed hair grower that can even grow hair on a bowling ball...

They have to pay for trying to save lives. Unreal!

That is not a real mustache; I refuse to belie it. That man is 100% Count Olaf in disguise.
