Don’t Believe the Blue Checks: Here’s the Context to Trump’s Comments About UV Light and “Injecting” Disinfectant

Twitter blue checks were high on their own supply after President Donald Trump made mention of a few solutions that have been killing the COVID-19 virus. If you play the clip by itself, it does seem like something completely wacky to say.

“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. “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.”

It was a wacky thing to say. Difficult to explain this away.

My girlfriend is an RN and as soon as she heard this she sent me a paper on Photodynamic treatment for infections and micro-organisms. It’s really amazing stuff, though heavy on medical terminology. If anyone cares to check it out:

While we don’t drink bleach, most people on city water drink chlorinated water. So maybe screw the bottled water and purifiers and drnk the municipal water.

Drinking city water will kill you.

The only answer is for everyone to go naked all the time. This would result in good social distancing with most afraid to leave their homes. Good news is that it would cut down on laundry.

Trump loves playing with the media.

One of my daughters works for a guy who’s running for Congress as a rat, which means by it’s very nature he’s kind of dumb.

His wife bought a UV device to sanitize your phone, keys etc. He couldn’t believe it worked.

I told her that UV kills everything, Over time and light spectrum, it is very destructive. I gave her some real life examples. The company I work for has a UV test chamber. It’s amazing how destructive a few hundred hours in UV can be.

I’m sending this article to a friend who’s on the David French wing of the insane spectrum.

"He’s a businessman... that’s just how his mind works."

Actually, it's also how scientists work. Imagine this was 70 years ago, there was an epidemic, and - based on research he had heard about - Trump speculated that dead or weakened viruses, or a derivative of mold, might be injected into the body to create antibodies and fight disease. The press would have mocked him but - of course - that process was eventually perfected, and they are called vaccines.

Trump was just thinking out loud about where the research might go - thinking "outside the box" - which smart people are supposed to do - and the stinking animals in the media mock him.

We do something of the sort with X-rays. Only we use it to help medicos see what is going on inside a patient’s body. We have radiation treatment for some cancers, too. But I don’t know how you could use that to treat viral infections.

We also have inhalers and the like that people can use to take medication via inhalation.

I like that Trump spitballs ideas and isn’t afraid to say what comes to him—even if delivered in a fragmented manner. But I wish he wouldn’t do it in front of a hostile press.

Fill up a depleted bottled water at the tap, no bleach, walk on the beach.

[Cobra64]

Yup. I got it.

Mr. B is in commercial HVAC industry , lots of hospitals as customers. Installing specialized UV lights along with some other specialized equipment that will clean and disinfect is exploding in demand right now. Has been tested and verified. Trump probably brainstorming off of things he’s learned about this.

We cannot overstate how toxic Twitter has become.

“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. “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.”

To report this as a suggestion to inject harmful chemicals into the body is journalists malpractice and a dangerous lie.

What he said was a fact, there is a tool that emits ultra violet light in a tube that is inserted into the breathing tube when a patient is being intubated .The product is called Heal light.

I bet insurance companies will deem it experimental and not covered.

So what even if he meant it? My husband was in the hospital awaiting a heart transplant for six months. I visited him daily and was deeply concerned about getting sick myself, because I had to be healthy. I continually slathered hand sanitizer all over my hands and forearms, and never failed to put some at the edge of my nostrils and above my lip.

[rightwingcrazy]

He also suggested that the researchers investigate “injections” of “antiseptics”. I’m sure he knew that would trigger images in CNN minds of hillbillies chugging down rubbing alcohol and bleach. Not what he said, or even what they understood that he said, but certainly how they would interpret it. It’s what they do.

It seems like the President is telling us to have vodka and tonic cocktails.

But not gin and tonic. Gin makes the people who drink it belligerent.

This is what we're dealing with. What do you do against such vile idiocy? "

Say, "Sounds good! Let me try it on my liberal mother-in-law first, though. She's expendable."

“And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body . . . "

The left has been chortling about that, but it's already done via many sorts of medical probes. Medical science has become so hi-tech that only a fool scoffs at ideas that are only an extension of that we are already doing, or are on the verge of doing.
