Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) declared:
“Standard gargle mouthwash has been proven to kill the coronavirus. If you get it, you may reduce viral replication. Why not try all these things?”
In response, Johnson & Johnson, the makers of Listerine posted the following:
"LISTERINE® Antiseptic is an antimicrobial mouthwash that is clinically proven to kill germs that cause plaque, bad breath and the early gum disease, gingivitis. LISTERINE® Antiseptic is not intended to prevent or treat COVID-19 and should be used only as directed on the product label."http://selectsmart.com/post/pix2/newsworthy.jpg
