Biden Mocks Trump's Suggestion Of Using Disinfectant To Treat COVID-19

President Joe Biden didn’t pull punches during a recent fundraising stop, mocking former President Donald Trump’s false 2020 suggestion that household cleaning products like bleach might be a remedy to COVID-19.

“Just a few days ago, [Donald Trump] asked a famous question in one of his rallies: Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Biden reportedly told a crowd of supporters during a Thursday fundraising stop in Houston, Texas. “Well, Donald, I’m glad you asked that question, man. I hope everyone in the country takes a moment to think back to what it was like in March of 2020.” Biden was referring to the onslaught of COVID-19 infections sweeping the country at that time.

As millions of Americans got sick and thousands more died, Trump routinely downplayed the severity of the virus and floated combating the virus using sunlight and disinfectant. “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?” Trump said during an April 2020 press briefing. “Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”

The statement caused the makers of household cleaning products Lysol and Dettol to issue a statement reminding people not to ingest dangerous cleaning products.

That will protect you from Covid 19.

Oh yes,.. then shove a big bright ultra violet light up your backside to disinfect your body from any ravages of Covid.

up my butt? It won't really do anything but make me sick? Actually, if that happens, I might already have COVID.

Meanwhile, get those needles away from me. Sure, the vaccine is based on 20+ years of research and has been well tested, but that orange oompa-loompa said I should not take it. I'll take his 0 years of medical knowledge over 20+ years from those other people.

Orange No is a politician. We all know they never lie and always tell the truth. Especially him.

"He's smart! Not dumb like everybody says, but smart!"
(anybody know what movie that is from?)

Ahem
