Although chlorine dioxide is not authorized as a medication in Argentina or any regulatory agency in the world, this substance is promoted as a “miraculous cure” for many illnesses, including coronavirus. It is promoted by people that consider themselves to be prominent church members, who have open court cases, politicians, influencers, fans of Andreas Kalcker and even dietitians. Despite some platforms have fixed policies to remove content harmful to health, Chequeado identified tens of posts that recommend this substance and sell it on WhatsApp.
