Ron Johnson Confirms Endorsement of Book Promoting Chlorine Dioxide as Medical Treatment

Federal health agencies warn the disinfectant can cause severe injury or death when ingested.

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 11: Ranking Member Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) speaks as U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan testifies at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on Capitol Hill on June 11, 2024 in Washington, DC. Fagan is testifying after Shannon Norenberg, the Coast Guard Academy's sexual assault response coordinator, resigned Sunday and released a statement alleging she was used to lie and discourage victims of sexual assault from coming forward during a coverup of a report known as "Operation Fouled Anchor."

Overview

  • ProPublica reported, and Senator Ron Johnson confirmed, that he approved a jacket blurb for Dr. Pierre Kory’s forthcoming book on chlorine dioxide.
  • The book alleges chlorine dioxide can treat conditions including autism, cancer, malaria, and COVID-19.
  • The FDA warns that ingesting chlorine dioxide mixtures can be dangerous and potentially lethal, and the EPA flags heightened risks for infants, young children, and fetuses.
  • Kory is a former critical care specialist who lost board certification after making false or misleading public statements about COVID-19 treatments.
  • Johnson declined further comment as independent experts denounced the book’s claims as baseless and described chlorine dioxide as a poison at high concentrations.
