The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing has been claiming chlorine dioxide is a "miracle cure".
For years it has sold the industrial bleach as Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), stating it can cure things like autism, acne, cancer, diabetes and now COVID-19.
[...] Following an investigation [...] last week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) today announced it had issued 12 infringement notices totalling $151,200 to MMS Australia for alleged unlawful advertising of Miracle Mineral Solution and other medicines.
... still a long way to injecting it, right? But maybe that's for The Genesis III Church of Health and Healing

It was about Leprosy...
Which was vexing them like Covid is vexing us.
This was written telling the priests what to look for and should he exile that person from the community.
Serious stuff. A misinterpreted wart would ruin your life. Look how many of us still get patches of rough skin and warts.

The word that that translates to Leprosy in the Bible, "tzaraath," is not the same thing as Leprosy. It referred to multiple states of a person or their belongings being unclean or diseased when used generally. In specific though, the symptoms and signs of "tzaraath" describe a disease different from Leprosy, with different interpretations of which it disease it is actually describing and which, like actual Leprosy, were just caught up by bad translation or general confusion due to the geographical differences in endemic diseases.

And the word "prove" was a correct translation half a millenium ago; but it has changed in meaning.
A modern translation would be "test", not "prove".
In the modern sense of "prove", if you could prove all things, your logic would be manifestly inconsistent.

I mean, I wonder whether maybe you did prove your own assertion?
