Ron Johnson Says ‘Try a Bunch’ of Covid Treatments

August 26, 2021 · 8:51 am ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) continued his attacks on the coronavirus vaccine while promoting several debunked Covid-19 “treatments” on a Washington Times podcast.

Said Johnson: “I’ve been an advocate for early treatment. I’m very agnostic. I don’t care what drug will work. Try a bunch of them.”

After Johnson promoted an anti-parasitic animal drug for animals as part of a cocktail of repurposed drugs for early treatment of Covid-19, the FDA issued a warning: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
