(Article revised 4/30/2020)
You would think that no one would seriously contemplate drinking chlorine bleach, but after a U.S. President’s remarks at a COVID-19 press conference at the White House, some did* hundreds reportedly called states’ COVID-19 Helplines asking about it. No, it does not cure the coronavirus, or cure autism or cancer. It is not a cure for stupidity either, just a symptom of it.
[NOTE: Sierra Wave took a closer look at claims that some people drank Clorox or Lysol directly as a result of the President’s remarks. There is no evidence reported in the news that we could find that that is the case. So, in the interest of fairness, we edited this article]
The last time I remember anyone drinking Clorox was a 1-1/2 year old…but he had an excuse. He didn’t know any better! [NOTE: There are a substantial number of articles online that substantiate that people do mistakenly ingest poisons (such as chlorine bleach).]
Tom Boo, MD, and Mono County Public Health Officer issued the following health alert to NOT INGEST Chlorine in any form.

I would like understand how moderator approves a comment that mocks a war veteran and allows it to be approved by 4 others? What am I missing? We will remember this next SW goes to press on their support of Veterans.
I think it’s interesting you assume that anyone who questions your comment(s) is not a veteran themselves.
Assume? That’s all you got?
The only people dumber than those who would actually drink or inject a disinfectant to cure or prevent coronavirus would be those who interpreted what Trump said as a solution to cure or prevent coronavirus. I believe those who fall into the latter aren’t really dumb, but sick, sick with… Read more »

The Republican party is quickly becoming the party of DEATH! Because they only attack Democrats that point out the failures. I am done pointing out the fact that Trump is a liar, cheat and is only in it for his self. It is time for Republicans to clean their own… Read more »
Really? Party of Death? WACO, Ruby Ridge, and Benghazi. I bet the families of Marines left to die, would feel differently.
Yes they are the party of Death! 61,000 this morning and it is still April not August! The Republicans want the people to get back to work even if it kills them. Pence not wearing a mask, his reason “the president and I and the people around us get tested… Read more »
First of all, have you become so desensitized to realize that is a horrible thing to say about any organization. As a conservative who fought in the Cold War, that is a dramatic and uneducated thing to say. Not only that you did not make the phrase “party of death”… Read more »
“As a conservative who fought in the Cold War…” ??? um, where, exactly …. ?
I was stationed in Iceland in a very remote location. We worked 12 hour shifts. We were the sea to sky intervention for military operations. We identified and deterred constant Russian attacks on the US and European soil 24hrs a day to protect ourselves and others from obvious enemy attack.… Read more »
USS Roosevelt . Oh, wait …..
”party of DEATH!”
So rediculously overly dramatic and amusing, par for the course for democrats.
“time for Republicans to clean their own house…”?
That’s exactly what we did in 2016, when we elected Trump, remember?
Is your spell checker broken?

Are you aware how many abortions are performed every year and which party advocates for those abortions? And know that I am pro choice but I am against treating pregnancy like a headache.
Tell this to your Local water district as Chlorine and Chloramines are dumped into your local drinking water,
Hey here is an idea lets take everything out of the water. That way when the water runs through God knows what filthy process to get to your tap you will know it is “pure”. let me know how that goes.
The President was mis-quoted by the usual rabid liberals who didn’t watch it. He was talking about a medical proceedure using UV light that is very effective, this is similar to the UV light you get if you get out in the sun which liberals have tried to ban and… Read more »

I’m guessing you only watched the video that Fox showed. Pretty good job of editing but what you need to ask yourself is, if that’s all he said why the big scramble to claim he was being sarcastic? Maybe because the Fox video left out all of the disinfectant comments… Read more »

And there are some that don’t know the difference between noble and NOBEL . He went to the BEST schools ? He’s HIGHLY educated ? I think not .
Thinning the herd…
Any time you liberal XXXX XXXXX (edited by SWM moderator) get the chance, you put our President down. I saw and heard what he said and your taking it completely out of context and lying to us all. You are the problem in this Country FAKE NEWS!
stevestlouis And I quote… “I see the disinfectant,where it knocks it out in one minute.” And then,looking at and asking Dr. Brix “And is there a way we can do that,something like that by injection,inside or almost like a cleansing,because you see,it gets in your lungs and it does a… Read more »
Hmmmmm? Fake news? why don’t you come up with a comment you made up yourself?
Kinda sad when, not only do doctors nationwide but local doctors too, have to warn people not to drink bleach or other disinfectants contrary to what a president of the United States suggested (even though he denies saying it…even though we all saw and heard him say it ). What… Read more »
No one drank bleach. There is absolutely no record of anyone drinking bleach. Trump was being a jerk, like alot of us he put his foot in his mouth. Why do we even care?
Maureen, you are correct. Sierra Wave could not find any news reports or studies to substantiate that people started drinking bleach as the result of the President’s comments. As a result, we edited this article to reflect that finding. Of course, chlorine is used widely to kill pathogens in our… Read more »

Google “Has anyone drank disinfectant” and see what the reports are saying…
Bottom line,stupid is as stupid does.
Even if it’s the POTUS suggesting we do it.
Dennis, you missed the point. None of the cases that come up using your Google search clearly state that anyone has drank bleach or disinfectant cleaner as a direct result of Trump’s silly comments. Visit this link at Reason.com, which has a credible reputation according to the Chicago Tribune. There… Read more »

I agree with you on that one. No one’s mind is going to change..
What did he say earlier.. BEFORE he was elected ?…”I could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and I’d still have my worshipers “…
Who cares.

From article you referenced: “It’s unclear, Lopez said, whether the two men had tried ingesting the cleaners after listening to remarks President Trump made about disinfectants at a press conference last week.
