President Trump's Speculation On Treatments Using UV Light And Disinfectants Results In A Backlash



Daily Mail: Donald Trump suggests injecting people with 'DISINFECTANT' and hitting 'the body with a very powerful light' could kill coronavirus in bizarre White House briefing outburst

* Trump raised the possible treatments at Thursday's White House press briefing
* He spoke after a government homeland official revealed the results of tests that showed sunlight and UV rays helped kill the coronavirus
* William Bryan is the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Science and Technology
* He said government scientists bombarded the virus with heat and light for tests
* A 'best practices' graphic posted at the briefing stated that 'Heat & Humidity suppress Covid-19,' and that they should 'move activities outside'
* Trump denied backing away from support for hydroxychloroquine

President Donald Trump proposed unorthodox new treatments for the coronavirus at Thursday's White House press briefing – including injecting cleaning agents in the body and use of ultraviolet lights.

Trump, who studied finance and real estate but touts his gut instincts about medical and scientific issues, brought up possible treatments at Thursday's White House press briefing.

Trump asked William Bryan, a senior Homeland Security science and technology advisor: 'Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light? And I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.

'And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting.'

WNU Editor: When you listen to what President Trump actually said (see above video), he is openly speculating on treatments and the need for more research from what he had learned in a earlier briefing. He is definitely not advocating that people should go out and inject themselves with disinfectant. But the media narrative is painting a different story (again).

Update #1: While President Trump is openly speculating on treatments, they are some who are now admitting that they use disinfectants on their body .... Chris Cuomo's wife Cristina is mocked for saying she bathed in CLOROX to treat coronavirus while the CNN host slams Trump's suggestion people could be infected with disinfectant (Daily Mail).

Update #2: Lysol and other companies are advising people to not inject their products .... Lysol Maker Begs Public Not To Inject Its Cleaning Products After Bizarre Trump Advice (Zero Hedge).

Update #3: I think the media and everyone else is missing a bigger story from yesterday's Covid-19 briefing. I watch these briefings every day, and this was the first time that I have seen President Trump look really tired. This pandemic has killed tens of thousands of American lives, and the subsequent lock-down has destroyed in five weeks an incredibly booming U.S. economy resulting in the loss of 26 million jobs. For any leader who cares about his people and nation, that is a terrible burden to carry, and President Trump is beginning to show it.

Trump made a mistake. Big Deal. As Bill O'Reilly pointed out today on the Glenn Beck show, when you hold daily press conferences longer than the movie "The Ten Commandments" you will mess up every now and then.

You learn in quality control courses that there is no perfect process. The president messed up. He is tired. Do not look for him to repeat the Clorox mistake. He won't. Do look for Joe Biden to not remember how many granddaughters again and again and again.


We use UV light to disinfect barber equipment. If you see a Barber or beautician, who does not have a UV sterilizer and barbicide, RUN!

I would not recommend UV light to sterilize a person although the Russians use it in very, very low dose of UV for good reason.

The booming of the U.S. economy prior to covid-19 was an artificial bubble economy.

We are talking about a generation of socialists that get their info from memes...happen to eat tide pods...and vote Democratic. Maybe the President should draw pictures for them, god forbid he openly speculates on things like the rest of us, the thinking world, does.

Stock Market is over valued. Zerohedge has been saying that since shortly after Obama's inauguration.

Being part of a FSB influence operation does not preclude ZH from telling the truth when it suits their agenda. Obama touted the stock market as proof that his policies worked. ZH pointed out QE1, QE2, QE3, Twist and QE infinity as the real reason. ZH said the stock market was no longer underpinned by fundamentals.

So 11:07 (a typical liberal asswipe) do you have anything? Anything at all?

Donald Trump touted more than just the stock market. It was the stock market and unemployment. It is hard to move on from talk of U3 decreasing to wage growth, because liberals are a drag on discourse.

11:07, if I were you I would worry more about your superficial knowledge and not about the artificial stock market.

11:07,

You were off topic as usual and doing nothing but bashing Trump and giving piss poor reasons.

But what the hey, you are a piss poor intellect.

Interesting comment about Trump looking fatigued. That is exactly what I thought. He should get some R&R. All soldiers do that. But I doubt he will. It would be "Trump plays golf and eats overcooked steaks while thousands die every day", 24/7. He should just say F.Y. and do it. Pence also looks tired. Birx on the other hand seems to be the energizer bunny.

Birx is in the spotlight with out the responsibility. She is preening.

If she goes way, way overboard with precaution and it costs lives and the whole economy, she'll just say that is what her narrow professional training led her to believe was best.

Birx is not responsible for results except in a very, narrow sense, COVID deaths.

Pence and Trump have to optimize a whole system. Birx just has to optimize corona deaths (meaning a minimum of them,) other deaths could go up, but she is not on the hook for that.

Total preener

They use UV radiation inside patients to kill pathogens in patients, who have been intubated.

A fascist liberal would not know this.

Fascist liberal? That is redundant. Liberals are fascists.

"A single subcutaneous injection of O3 in mouse ..."

Wow injection of a disinfectant (Ozone) into an animal.

Trump was right!

Of course Birx is "preening." She has a God-compkex and she's been given absolute power to kill and destroy whomever she wishes. Defective humans such has her will do this and enjoy themselves while doing it. The same applies to Fauci.

The worst mistake Trump made was allowing these people and their teams to assume total control over our response to COVID-19 and it was compounded by the fact that these people and their teams had no oversight. We should have opted for the Swedish model as our response.

Lock downs and shelter in place orders may have limited utility in preventing medical facilities from becoming over burdened. Except perhaps in very limited areas this was never going to happen. This didn't prevent some health care professionals from shaking down the tax payers for more money and power by using hysterical fear mongering. From the start we couldn't question the "experts." To do so was deemed comparable to blasphemy and would invite the most vile and vicious attacks on anyone who did. Like people in other groups healthcare professionals will lie in order to acquire more money and power.

When extraordinary claims are made, extraordinary evidence needs to be supplied. It wasn't. Even if the policies put in place by Fauci and Birx are fully discontinued today, the death toll resulting from them over the next few years will likely exceed the 2.2 million deaths they predicted had we done nothing. Hopefully someday they will be brought to justice for what they've done. Their teams should face justice as well. "I was only following orders" typically hasn't been a good defense.

Imagine Trump were to die of covid-19 and the work induced fatigue which surely must influence his metabolism and immune system. He's overweight on top and of the endangered age range. It is not impossible.

Also. With the low security level in the white house briefing room (even Acosta gets in! ;) it's not impossible to open a vile of covid19 in that room. It would be so small too, would fit as a film on the lense of the glasses of a reporter. Sprayed on. Released as soon as temperature increases once worn on head due to body heat. Close to front row.
