Andreas Kalcker, prominent peddler of chlorine dioxide remedy, to appear at ‘Truth Seekers Conference’ in Miami

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.

Trump talking about bleach for COVID was dumber than it was made out to be.

Never found it again, but if you see him walk up to the podium, he stops and reads a CDC infographic on sterilizing surfaces. The poster highlighted bleach and UV as effective solutions.

Like a child who skipped the reading assignment, Trump confidently steps onstage and starts talking about injecting bleach and UV. Seriously. It was even dumber than we make fun of.
