Why are they warning Americans? This idiotic rumor started in Thailand.
But anything to make Americans seem gullible.
- Betadine, an iodine-based antiseptic, has been falsely deemed a potential COVID-19 prophylactic
- Rumors about the drug sprouted on a Thai television program before later being spread on social media
- The drug is FDA approved and safe for human use, but has never demonstrated an ability to fight viruses
- Developers of the drug issued a statement saying the drug is not effective at combatting COVID-19
The rumor surrounding Betadine appears to have started on a Thai television show called Tok Mai Tiang, which translates into The Discussion.
On the show, a doctor claimed that gargling iodine could potentially prevent a person who has been exposed to COVID-19 from being infected.
The video has been viewed more than350,000 times online, not including those who watched the show live when it aired on Thai television.
Whether the views on the video come from Thailand or Western viewers is not known.
I am aware that potassium iodide is used for radiation exposure.
Good to know in this day and age…
I don’t gargle with iodine, I swallow it. 3 to 5 drops of Crow’s Lugol solution in water daily. Ain’t been sick in…don’t remember how long.
I’m going to stick with my nyquila, it’s like Nyquil without all the extras.
Fun Medical Fact: Cutting out a rib enables you to self-sodomize while protecting you from COVID-19.
Ever see Marilyn Manson with a cold? NEVER. I rest my case.

I use Betadine occasionally as a douche. It’s cleansing, plus it keeps that area free of frisky fraternity folks.
My roommate, on the other hand, uses a Pumpkin Spice irrigator which has them lined up in the hallway.
Hey, progs! Gargle with Super Glue and you will never have to deal with any more microaggressions for as long as you live.
What the vaccers don’t realize is that they are much more stupid than the people who oppose the vaccine.
seriously, ‘Tok Mai Tiang’? sounds like a badly translated video about ‘spanking my sexual orifice’
only idiots, or vaxxers, would fall for this … but I repeat myself
now … off to watch a Marx Brothers flick … “you left out the most important Hungada!”

Maybe the iodine is sanitizing your memory?!! 😉
Tide-Pod eaters will be the biggest victims.
Forget iodine, I recommend coffee enemas.
Liberal douche nozzles posing as “Anti Vaxers” more likely.
Yes to Lugols iodine drops everyday, just 3 to 4 drops. I have blood tests to prove it helped my thyroid function. The correct thing to ward off flu is Colloidal Silver. Squirt 1/2 an eyedropper back into your throat, and see how quick that stops an attack. Amazon sells Silver Wings 500 ppm for about $20.
Doctors warn Americans NOT to gargle iodine to prevent Covid after anti-vaxxers falsely claim on social media that it protects against the virus

How’s that any different from saying “The VAXX will PREVENT the CCP bug””?
Lies are lies, and the liars are in charge.
