As I remember, several experimental treatments were being studied and discussed in this press conference—another being UV light treatments and others-—which during this conversation somehow became conflated with “injecting bleach.”
If anyone thought they heard a recommendation for injecting bleach, they weren’t paying attention. Same story as the Charlottesville “good people on both sides”
” Same story as the Charlottesville “good people on both sides””
Good point.
Our first Reichstag Fire. (Read that local were saying both sides came and left on the same buses.)
Many people aren’t paying attention, but I think more and more are.
I watched that particular press conference live, and it pisses me off that President Trump's enemies are still running with that lie. IIRC, what he asked was if there was a substance that could be taken internally that would work in a similar fashion to the way a disinfectant works on a surface (or words to that effect).
Then a press propagandist asked in an incredulous way if the President was calling for the injection of Lysol (I think the word he used was Lysol and not bleach). I remember turning to my wife and asking, "Did he just ask if Trump was advocating for the injection of Lysol?" And the rest, as they say, is history.
Actually, the treatment Trump referenced was blue light which kills microbes but does not damage human tissue.
