The technology, the church’s pastor said in a Facebook post that has since been removed, was developed by a local company whose C.E.O. said he sometimes attends the church.
“So when you come into our auditorium, 99 percent of Covid is gone, killed, if it was there in the first place” the pastor, Luke Barnett, said in the video. “You can know when you come here, you’ll be safe and protected. Thank God for great technology and thank God for being proactive.”
In an interview on Tuesday, Tim Bender, the chief executive of CleanAir EXP, the company behind the technology, said the church officials did not fully understand how the system worked and were not precise enough in describing the company’s claims.
Church officials clarified their remarks on Tuesday afternoon, saying in a statement that they had used imprecise language.
“We have heard Coronavirus and Covid used interchangeably. Our statement regarding the CleanAir EXP units used the word Covid when we should have said Coronavirus or Covid surrogates,” the statement read. “We hope to alleviate any confusion we may have caused.”

“The claims seem suspicious on several counts, but they don’t provide enough information to decipher what they are really doing,” said Jose L. Jimenez, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Church officials did not respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Bender said the technology, which would be installed in the ventilation system, generate positively and negatively charged oxygen ions. The ions then attach to particles in the air, adding electrical charge to the particles, causing them to clump together and fall out of the air. The ions could also react with the viruses to disable them.

William P. Bahnfleth, a professor of architectural engineering at Pennsylvania State University, who looked over the testing results, said, “Suffice it to say that, based on the evidence available, the scientific community is skeptical of performance claims for these devices.”
Anyone who registered for the event was required to sign a waiver.
“By attending this convention, you and any guest voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to Covid-19 and agree not to hold Turning Point Action, their affiliates, Dream City Church, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury,” it said.
“Unproven claim”

I don’t get why the church even needs technology like that when everybody is bathed in the blood.
In sane societies, we get both transparency AND affordability.
Radical concept, I know.

Without looking at their specific claims:

Ugh it’s going to be realllly annoying to have these kids who jerk off to Ben Shapiros voice actually get elected to real government positions.
One major downside to trump is that he has encouraged all sorts of absolute idiots to run for office. We’ll be feeling the negative effect of that regard for a long time.

Something went seriously wrong with the guy’s upbringing if he’s 24-years old and a hardcore Republican.
Also, he looks like Tom Brady.

It’s a shame there’s no forum in existence where I can say what I actually think about Donald Trump. Also freedom of speech
