Following 46 cases of bleach ingestions in the North Texas Poison Center region since the start of August, experts are again warning people that drinking BLEACH won’t prevent COVID-19. (The organization pointed to “misleading and inaccurate information circulating online about how to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” for an uptick in poisonings.)
The FDA has long warned that drinking chlorine dioxide products can lead to “severe vomiting, severe diarrhea, life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration and acute liver failure.”
The potentially deadly misinformation that drinking or injecting bleach to kill the coronavirus was amplified by Donald Trump.
The poisonings in North Texas are a reminder of the consequences of this president’s lies and misinformation.
The presidential platform is the most powerful in the world, and as the Trump has been handed two hours of primetime airtime this week for the Republican convention, it is important to remember that not only will some people believe these lies, they will act on them.
The only way that drinking bleach can prevent the coronavirus is that it will kill you... and then you don't have to worry about COVID-19.
The way I see it anyway
