The President appears to be unaware that the States of Florida abd California have been doing large randomized trials of the impact of UV radiation on disinfecting the outside of the human body for a number of decades now. However, the CDC has expressed concern that the UV radiation may have unacceptably elevated side effects, such as skin cancer. Commercially developed irradiation devices for external sterlization using UV radiation have been similarly frowned upon. The President also appears to be unaware that Europe conducted very large scale randomized trials in 1915 through 1918 to assess the beneficial impacts of application of common household disinfection agents applied to the skin or internally by inhalation and ingestion.These products were not found to be particularly efficacious in mitigating the 1918 flu epidemic. Comparison of the test subjects with civilian control groups indicated that there were numerous undesirable side effects such as death, blindness, severe respiratory damage, and numerous other deleterious effects. The side effects were sufficiently extreme that the nations signed treaties agreeing not to conduct such mass disinfection experiments again with these products.
