Trump did not Recommend Injecting Bleach

I occasionally argue with Trump-haters, and they nearly always bring up some totally false allegation that is disproved easily by googling it. Last time it was that Pres. Trump recommended that people inject bleach into their bodies. Here is the official transcript:

ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: "we’re talking about nonporous surfaces: door handles, stainless steel. ... you inject summer — the sunlight into that. You inject UV rays into that. ... We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, ..."

As you can see, he is talking about disinfecting a steel surface. Trump just adds an innocuous comment.

THE PRESIDENT: Right. 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 [the coronavirus] gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — 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 — that’s pretty powerful.

In case there is any doubt, a question makes it clear that the bleach is for cleaning a surface, not injecting into the body.

Q But I — just, can I ask about — the President mentioned the idea of cleaners, like bleach and isopropyl alcohol you mentioned. There’s no scenario that that could be injected into a person, is there? I mean —

ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: No, I’m here to talk about the findings that we had in the study. We won’t do that within that lab and our lab. So —

THE PRESIDENT: It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.

Trump does also have a speculative comment about testing ultraviolet light on the body. But nothing about injecting bleach into the body or anything like that. It is all a fiction from Trump-haters.
