Who are the IDIOTS who keep buying these false claim products? There will always be scammers as long as there are fools with money. PARANOID, DELUSIONAL FOOLS!
the dumbing down on display…morons
And newbies keep coming on the Amazon forum asking how they can sell their face masks and disinfectant, etc. They will do anything for money!
Not sure how the EPA finds some of those statements violative.
Gentle to Child & Pets ????
Probably because they’re also gentle on viruses. LOL
Why would EPA control what the sellers on Ebay sell? That’s absolutely stupid. These are all private businesses and Ebay shouldn’t have any say in what they sell, unless it’s illegal.
Even then it’s the same situation as it is with the social media: are they publishers, responsible for their content or open squares that simply grant access to their website and show unfiltered opinions?
In this case I’m for Ebay and Amazon to ignore EPA. O don’t sell any of these products, nor would I want to but it’s up to the buyer to educate themselves. Also a lot of the products sold on Ebay and Amazon are absolutely successful in removing the virus or “killing it”, the fact that EPA doesn’t approve of it has nothing to do with the reality.
