Fox didn’t immediately challenge Trump’s disinfectant remark [AP passes judgment]
Associated Press ^ | April 24, 2020 | David Bauder

President Donald Trump’s suggestion that doctors look into injecting disinfectant as a potential coronavirus treatment went unchallenged on Fox News Channel until the morning after he made it.

Trump said during Thursday’s briefing that “it would be interesting to check” if an injection of disinfectants could help. That prompted the makers of Lysol to warn consumers about the danger of ingesting or injecting the cleaning product into their bodies.

Trump said Friday that he was being sarcastic.

Meanwhile, The New York Times on Friday deleted a tweet that implied only “some experts” viewed it as dangerous, saying “to be clear, there is no debate on the danger.”

Fox’s response drew scrutiny because the most-watched cable news network is also the overwhelming favorite of Trump supporters. …

I do not see Fox to be the “overwhelming favorite” here. And UIM, this site is the best microcosm of Trump supporters in general.

That’s a new twist. Very interesting.

Perhaps the editors at AP need to hone their language skills. Saying to researchers that “it would be interesting to check” if “injections of disinfectant would help” does not mean the same thing as “let’s start drinking Lysol”.

If it did, could the call to “investigate new vaccines” be an irresponsible lure for amateur Jonas Salks to experiment by injecting viruses into themselves?

Or could the call for social distancing to be interpreted by some dimwitted governors and mayors as a mandate to arrest people for sitting alone on a beach? Well, maybe that.

This is like when he said about Hillary’s e-mails that maybe the Russians could help find them. The press has no sense of humor or is willfully stupid (because no one can be that stupid by accident or otherwise naturally).

Merriam-Webster: Definition of disinfectant. : an agent that frees from infection.
Your Dictionary:A substance which kills germs and/or viruses.

PDJT was thinking out loud.

Technically he was right and even the most idiot dem knows what he was talking about.

In a broad, and not incorrect sense, antibiotics and antivirals are “disinfectants” in that they free the body of infection by killing or inactivating viruses and germs.

PDJT could develop a cure for ebola with a 99% success rate and the headline would read “ Many taking the Trump Cure Die!”

BTW, I believe the woman that fed her husband fish tank cleaner did it without his knowledge and it was a planned murder.

“Challenge” them for what?

What he actually said, or what the 2016 election losers are claiming he said?

I had an issue with the fact that there was excellent information presented by the Dept of S&T and all anyone wanted to talk about was that portion.

Btw here’s the full presentation regarding light exposure From William Brysn

The disinfectant President Trump was talking about was the actual UV light! It is was used in the past and forgotten. Injected, via a transfusion of UV treated blood. It was successful on many types of pathogens...He was correct and probably knows about its use!

You’re preaching to the choir. I posted the presentation regarding UV light, which was how the subject started.

Journalism is dead. This Lysol scam is pack “journalism” at its worst.

Reporter: “The President mentioned the idea of a cleaner, bleach, isopropyl alcohol... uh, there’s no scenario that can be injected in a person is there?”

Either the reporter had the iq of a turnip, or it’s very clear the reporter was trying to link the words bleach, alcohol and injections with Trump’s comments on injecting light/UV into the body. And the entire MSM ran with the fake news of the reporter’s question twisted to malign Trump.

While the endotracheal device below would be ‘inserted’, the nitric oxide in studies mentioned below would be ‘injected’ into the feed lines of a ventilator

(April 20 AP Press Release - uv light inside the lung)

unfortunately it seems Birx missed her cue, twice, to participate and talk about this new study or even the ones below. A product to treat lungs with UV, in development 5 years, jointly with Cedars-Sinai. It’s an AP news release, so it’s not like AP and the MSM didn’t know about it either when they intentionally misattributed Trump.

and I’m sure the MSM will continue to play ignorant of these ongoing studies, too:

(and keep in mind that it’s Birx’s job, and the media’s job, to know about all of this research)

to be noted: Chris Cuomo’s wacko wife blogged about taking chlorox baths to beat CCPVirus. I haven’t read a single story of poison control centers getting hundreds of calls about chlorox baths, tho. Why is that?

look how inside edition falls all over itself to defend wack science:
https://www.insideedition.com/media/videos/chris-cuomos-wife-cristina-puts-clorox-in-her-bathwater-59244
and CNS even adds quotes from her equally wacko doctor that recommended it to ‘oxygenate cells’:
https://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/christina-cuomo-says-she-took-clorox-bleach-baths-combat-coronavirus

Political reporters suck. Between the Press Assn seeding the press room with Panda spys, and the malicious attention-seekers, I wouldn’t blame Trump for telling all of them to fudge off and grow up. As for Birx, what is her problem? Is she ill?

The way I heard it from what Trump said is to illuminate the body from within as well. At that instant he was talking about light, not disinfectant.

Watch the press conference tape!

That is actually a brilliant idea. If instead of an optical probe a small UV lightbulbulb or LED is intoduced in the lungs through the esophagus, it could kill the virus where it does the most damage.

Trump is a genius!

Healight by scientists at Cedars-Sinai uses UV light to treat the coronavirus and other respiratory infections. This builds off similar methods used to treat tuberculosis.
