Move over ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, anti-vaxxers are now gargling Betadine
Anti-vaxxers are reaching a point of no return. Despite warnings and consistent advisories to not ingest products that aren’t made to ingest, they just don’t seem to understand. For some reason, anti-vaxxers are willing to try anything but the COVID-19 vaccine itself to cure coronavirus. From drinking bleach to taking ivermectin, anti-vaxxers have now moved onto Betadine, an antiseptic used to treat cuts and scrapes.
Betadine, or povidone-iodine, is often sold over-the-counter for topical use to disinfect cuts and other wounds. According to Kenneth Weinberg, an emergency room physician, it is a “commonly used cleanser in the ER and OR.” Anti-vaxxers are gargling with the chemical solution in an attempt to treat COVID-19. “If you’re in the ER and someone has a wound to sew it up, you use it to clean with,” he said.
While .05% of the solution can be sold for gargling purposes, the bottle does have a warning label that plainly reads, “DO NOT SWALLOW.” The average Betadine bottle sold for cleaning is a 10% solution, meaning it contains 100 times more than the recommended amount to gargle. When Rolling Stone told him that anti-vaxxers were gargling Betadine, Weinberg replied: “Fuck me! Of course they are.”
Despite the warnings, people are promoting the solution on social media as a solution to COVID-19 for gargling or using it in a nasal spray. “Don’t get COVID. Prophylaxis is not that hard,” one tweet read, according to Rolling Stone. “Also nasal spray with a couple of drops betadine in it. And gargle with original Listerine.”
