Listen to the remarks, and its clear he never said anything about injecting disinfectant directly into a patient. It was part of a conversation he had with Dr. Bill Bryant, leader of science and technology at HHS, about using new information about how light, heat and humidity kill the virus. A reporter, Jonathan Karl of ABC brought up the question about injecting disinfectant, and he said "it wouldn't be through injection" and deferred to the experts. It's a shame the reporters insist on politicizing this.

Reporters have politicized everything about this and the virus. To anyone paying attention these sort of little attacks on Trump over things he didn't say kill all credibility. How could anyone trust abc now? Either they're partisan hacks or their reporter is too stupid to be in his job. Either way their credibility is zero

Help me understand. "So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you 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." What does this mean? It certainly sounds to me like he is talking about using disinfectant to clean the virus out of the lungs.

  Ok, I listened to Bill Bryan's prior comments again, and I still do not understand what President Trump was saying if not suggesting using light and disinfectants inside the human body. Bill Bryan was obviously not using the word "inject" to refer to injecting anything into the human body, but it certainly sounds like President Trump was ("inside the body", "through the skin"?)

    He was speaking in the context of on-going research. Not a how-to guide for people dealing with it. He's not a scientist, but he very clearly deferred to the scientist on how it would be done.

      This is what you said: > it's clear he never said anything about injecting disinfectant directly into a patient Here's what Donald Trump said: > And then I see the 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 Here's what your source had to say about what Donald Trump said: > spoke about the use of ultraviolet light to fight the virus and an injectable disinfectant that would clean your lungs The ongoing research Bryan was discussing was not medical research, and had nothing to do with the human body, and yet Donald Trump certainly said someting about injecting disinfectant directly into a patient (or at the very least, it isn't clear that he didn't say that).

        So, what's your point? You really think he was suggesting that people drink cans of lysol to clean their lungs? That's absurd, and I think you know it. It just feels like senseless nitpicking to me. There's multiple avenues of research into this. Some more promising than others. He said, "it seems interesting to me", and left it at that. Nothing about that should strike anyone as inappropriate, when it was said for the sole purpose of trying to promote a guarded optimism around the matter. Too many seem to want to promote panic.

        My point is that your statement: > Listen to the remarks, and its clear he never said anything about injecting disinfectant directly into a patient. does not seem to be correct. That's it. > You really think he was suggesting that people drink cans of lysol to clean their lungs? That's absurd, and I think you know it No, I think he was suggesting that using disinfectants as a treatment for COVID-19 is worthy of investigation based on the findings that lysol kills coronavirus.
