“...Trump
suggested the possibility of an ‘injection’ of disinfectant into a person
infected with the coronavirus as a deterrent to the virus during his daily
briefing Thursday.
“Trump made the remark after
Bill Bryan, who leads the Department of Homeland Security's science and
technology division, gave a presentation on research his team has conducted
that shows that the virus doesn't live as long in warmer and more humid
temperatures. Bryan said, ‘The virus dies quickest in sunlight,’ leaving Trump
to wonder whether you could bring the light ‘inside the body.’
“‘So
supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just
a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because
of the testing,’ Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. ‘And then I
said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either
through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test
that, too. I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one
minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or
almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous
number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.’
“He didn't specify the kind of
disinfectant. Medical professionals, including Dr. Vin Gupta, a
pulmonologist, global health policy expert and an NBC News and MSNBC
contributor. were quick to challenge the president's
‘improper health messaging.’
“‘This notion of injecting or
ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it’s
dangerous,’ said Gupta. ‘It’s a common method that people utilize when they
want to kill themselves’” (NBC News).
He is a dangerous fool.
