Senator endorses discredited doctor's book

Friday, December 12, 2025

For years, Sen. Ron Johnson has been spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and the safety of vaccines. He's promoted disproven treatments for COVID-19 and claimed, without evidence, that athletes are "dropping dead on the field" after getting the COVID-19 vaccination. Now the Wisconsin politician is endorsing a book by a discredited doctor promoting an unproven and dangerous treatment for autism and a host of ailments: chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching.

... The book is "The War on Chlorine Dioxide: The Medicine that Could End Medicine" by Dr. Pierre Kory, a critical care specialist who practiced in Wisconsin hospitals before losing his medical certification for statements advocating using an antiparasite medication to treat COVID-19. The action, he's said, makes him unemployable, even though he still has a license.

Kory has said there's a globally coordinated campaign by public health agencies, the drug industry, and the media to suppress evidence of the medicinal wonders of chlorine dioxide. His book, according to its website, contends that the "remarkable molecule" works "to treat everything from cancer and malaria to autism and COVID."

The book jacket features a prominent blurb from Johnson calling the doctor's treatise: "A gripping tale of corruption and courage that will open eyes and prompt serious questions."

Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound that has a range of applications, including as a disinfectant and deodorizer. Food processing plants apply it to sanitize surfaces and equipment. Hospitals use it to sterilize medical devices, and some municipalities use low levels to treat public water supplies. Paper mills rely on it to whiten wood pulp. Safety experts advise those who handle it to work in well-ventilated spaces and to wear protective gloves.

Concentrations in drinking water systems higher than 0.8 milligrams per liter can be harmful, especially to infants, young children, and fetuses, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. ...

... Despite a pledge in 2016[27] to retire after two terms in the Senate, Johnson announced in January 2022 that he would run for a third term.[28]

He faced the Democratic nominee, Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, in the general election.[29]

Johnson debated Barnes in October 2022; when each was asked to say something favorable about his opponent, Barnes praised Johnson as a "family man", while Johnson said Barnes had a "good upbringing" and used that to question why Barnes had "turned against America".[30]

In the November 8 general election, Johnson defeated Barnes with 50.4% of the vote.[31] ...

We all know that people in those industries are so much healthier than others.

This is more liberal nonsense.

Dr. Mengele is only "discredited" because Big Singleton is working behind the scenes to keep the rate of twin pregnancies unnaturally low, by deliberately lowering the sperm count in Western Men through water fluoridation and other means including 5G.

Here's the thing: The 2025 vintage of Chlorine Dioxide matches beautifully with a 2023 Ivermectin when properly decanted.

Do "we all" know that?

That aspect aside ...

Please explain how its use works "to treat everything from cancer and malaria to autism and COVID."
