Dude, just read the article. The first few lines make it clear that Mr. Bakker and his fake expert were absolutely trying to dupe people in to thinking that some nonsense-juice would cure the current corona virus. They even said it would cure SARS - another virus that has no cure. That’s fraud. I, for one, am heartened that we are finally seeing society not give a pass to complete idiots because “faith”. I almost wept when the manslaughter sentence was upheld against the faith-healing parents in Oregon who let their perfectly treatable baby die because “faith”. I never thought I would see the day. Well done Missouri.

I did, a "natural health expert" was the person he used to backup the claim,if that is found to be the same as a scientific authority then i am all for the lawsuit. Dude, it's a nonsense juice to you you can hate it and tell people not to use it all you want and that's fine, I will do the same too. I don't support or associate myself with this guy. I don't think those people who didn't treat their Child should be convicted of a crime either, if someone says for example "eating grass will cure cancer" they have every right to believe that and excercise that belief. The parents of that child had genuine belief and intent their lack of acceptance towards scientific and proven medical treatment is their right. Perhaps the child should have been taken away from them or something. But the whole point of being allowed to believe in something is so you can excercise that belief. If you really believe your scientific beliefs supersede all other beleifs then attempt to codify it in law and I hope there are sensible people left that will resist either peacefully or by force. You don't get to police other people's beleifs, they are not your slaves, your right to believe what you want including science and medicine and practice it is predicated on your ability to tolerate others who disagree completely with you! That's the price you pay, just like when someone is a Nazi you don't get to kill them or if they hate women you don't get to discriminate against them. However horrible you think a belief,race,eth icity or gender is yours is toleratee because you tolerate them.
