Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is touting a new, unfounded health theory—and this time he says it’s a treatment for everything from autism to cancer.
Johnson is pushing a new book titled The War on Chlorine Dioxide: The Medicine that Could End Medicine by Dr. Pierre Kory, who in 2024 lost his board certifications for continuing to promote ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication, to treat long COVID.
This time around, Kory is pushing the use of chlorine dioxide, a chemical used in bleach and disinfectants, as a treatment for “everything from cancer and malaria to autism and COVID.” He goes as far as to say that there is a worldwide campaign by global public health officials, the pharmaceutical industry, and the news media to tamp down information about what chlorine dioxide can be used
