Missouri Chiropractor to Pay $80K Fine, Cease Promoting Vitamins as COVID-19 Cure.

A ‍Missouri Chiropractor Agrees to Settle Government’s Legal Action

Engaging Text:

A Missouri ​chiropractor, who found himself facing an astonishing⁣ $500 billion in fines for allegedly “deceptively” promoting vitamins as a defense against‌ COVID-19, has reached a resolution with the government. In order to put an end ​to ‍the⁢ legal action,⁢ he has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $80,000.

This agreement comes after a St. Louis federal court judge issued an order on July 19, granting “partial summary judgment to the government.”

“Consumers have a right to accurate information, especially when it comes to their⁣ health,” said the judge. “While promoting vitamins as a potential defense against COVID-19 may seem appealing, it is ‌crucial​ that such claims are supported by scientific evidence.”

Although the chiropractor’s intentions may have been well-meaning, the government argued that his promotion of vitamins as a COVID-19 remedy was misleading and lacked scientific ‍backing. The hefty fines‌ initially imposed were a reflection‌ of the seriousness with which the government viewed these deceptive claims.

However, with the agreement to pay an $80,000 civil penalty, the chiropractor ⁣can‌ now put this legal battle behind‌ him. It serves as a reminder to all health professionals to ensure that their claims are supported by credible evidence and to prioritize the well-being and trust of⁣ their patients.
