NBC Chicago quotes Kerri Rivera directly, in an on-camera interview: “Autism is treatable.” In the same interview she added, “It’s avoidable. And I believe it’s curable.” The Illinois Attorney General’s office, after investigating, stated in the resulting settlement agreement that Rivera “lacks competent and reliable scientific evidence to support her claims that chlorine dioxide can treat autism”; the University of Chicago’s Karan Radwan told the same reporters, “We don’t have a single case of autism that is linked to a virus or a type of germ or parasite.”
