Trump suggested studying injections of disinfectant to treat coronavirus, then said he was being sarcastic. Here’s video and a transcript.

Trump Quote: “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.

Do you recognize this?

About light “Inside the body”:

Trump Quote: “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.”

Laser Therapy

Disinfectant: Trump

“I see disinfectant, where it 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. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.'”

Resposible Media Reporting

The press does not seem to be aware of a common business practice referred to as brain storming. Also the press does not seem to have any knowledge of the meaning of the word “Suppose”.

Further, it seem the press and many medical practitioners are completely unaware of the treatment methods employed in treating Cancer.

Light – Radiation therapy

Light inside the body – Laser therapy

Disinfectant in the body – Chemotherapy

Common folks – think – its brain storming and they are common practices used in the treatment of cancer.

A more responsible reporting of the same information

“Trump suggests the medical community look at  the same type of treatments that are used in the treatment of cancer.”
