He tweeted in January, before the outbreak hit pandemic status, that “not only is chlorine dioxide (aka MMS) an effective cancer cell killer, it can wipe out coronavirus too”.

However, the FDA dismisses such claims, saying “it is not aware of any research showing that these products are safe or effective for treating any illness”. Warning that drinking them can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and symptoms of severe dehydration.
