not really, when you consider targeted monoclonal antibodies, which we didn’t have at the time of his talk, the development of which Trump funded, and which he ultimately received, are very much a ‘dis-infect-ant’ of the pacman variety. So are most antibiotics in the literal sense.

There is a perfectly good word that used to describe these sorts of things — medicine. If one wanted to more specific one could say antibody treatments. Given the context of what was said before him, he certainly was not talking about the development on monoclonal antibody treatments when he said disinfectants. The contortions that some people go through here to defend him is far more silly than what he said.
