London Bishop sells £91 ‘plague protection kits’

A clergyman in South London is making a business of the coronavirus pandemic with the sale of selling “divine plague protection kits” for £91 to parishioners worried about coronavirus, according to reports.

The Standard reports Bishop Climate Wiseman, who leads the Kingdom Church in Camberwell, promises followers they can ward off the virus by “covering yourself with the divine plague protection oil and wearing the scarlet yarn on your body”.

On his website he writes: “Though people are falling ill and dying around you, you can be safe and sound… That is why I want to encourage you… to get your divine plague protection kit today!” The site offers a number of payment methods, including bank transfer.

Labour councillor Tom Flynn said: “I’m appalled by what appears to be a snake oil salesman exploiting the vulnerable.”

There is currently no vaccine or preventative medicines for Covid-19. The NHS advises those with symptoms to rest, drink water and take paracetamol.

Bishop Wiseman told the Standard when contacted that the £91 cost was for materials, postage and packaging.He said: “I think coronavirus is very demonic … We don’t sell the kits, it is donations, it just covers the cost of the material, we don’t make a lot of profit.”
