Donald Trump’s private golf resort in South Florida will next week host one of the world’s leading purveyors of chlorine dioxide, a potentially life-threatening form of industrial bleach that is claimed without evidence to be a cure for cancer, Covid and autism.

Andreas Kalcker is among 50 listed speakers at the “Truth Seekers Conference”, a two-day event opening on Thursday at the US president’s resort, Trump National Doral Miami. The event features several anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists who have been brought together by the far-right commentator Charlie Ward.

Kalcker, a German national thought to be living in Switzerland, markets the bleach under the brand name “CDS”, for chlorine dioxide solution. His online brochures claim that the toxic chemical, which he admits is a disinfectant, can “eliminate pathogens” that cause disease. He boasts it is “possibly the greatest medical discovery of the last 100 years”.

Government health authorities in the US and Spain have denounced the remedy as fraudulent, saying it is no different from drinking bleach. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that it can cause serious and even life-threatening side-effects, including dehydration, diarrhoea and kidney injury.

Once again, it's FAFO.

I'm reminded of the anti-vaxxers during the Covid pandemic. The vast majority of fatalities were people who could have received the vaccine but chose not to.

Why are so many people scientifically illiterate?

Is used in the process for making paper. It is used to bleach the wood pulp.

It is a powerful oxidizer.

Never heard of him. Looked him up.
Media Matters:

(Charlie) Ward has shared posts praising Hitler for supposedly “warning us” about Judaism; claiming that “VIRUSES are Man (JEW) made”; and attacking the alleged Jewish media for supposedly lying about the Holocaust.”

Oh, he’s a Republican, all right!

Adding - Ward is a ‘former’ (fact not in evidence) BF of Trump’s most ignored son, Eric.

It may sound mean but it's nature way of culling the herd. As for the innocent children, there is social services and local/state law enforcement. This is clearly child endangerment and abuse. Throw in attempted murder and murder. For preachers, conspiracy to murder.
