Returning Idiot of the Week: "Ingest or Inject Disinfectant in your body to cure virus"

WH Briefing on April 23, 2020
This week's idiot is a returning champion. Even Fox News reports a big spike in calls (click for link) to poison control centers from people who listened to this insane "advice."
   During a press conference on April 25th, you know who recommended ingesting or injecting disinfectant in the BODY to kill Coronavirus (COVID19).
 Doctors and scientists warn that will KILL you. Even Lysol brand disinfectant had to rush and put out a press release warning people not to do that:  Dettol And Lysol Maker Warns Against Drinking And Injecting Disinfectant After Trump Suggestion (click to see story)
(You know there will be people who do, because they think you know who is a "savior."). In today's blog, you can see the VIDEO from that Press conference and the story about this gigantic IDIOT.

Here's the story: 
Coronavirus: medical experts denounce Trump's theory of 'disinfectant injection'
Doctors warn US president’s musings on disinfectant as a cure for coronavirus could lead to death
UK Guardian Newspaper April 24, 2020

Donald Trump has stunned viewers by suggesting that people could receive injections of disinfectant to cure the coronavirus, a notion one medical expert described as “jaw-dropping”.

At Thursday’s White House coronavirus taskforce briefing, the US president discussed new government research on how the virus reacts to different temperatures, climates and surfaces.

“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an 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, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”

Dr Deborah Birx, the taskforce response coordinator, remained silent. But social media erupted in hilarity and outrage at the president, who has a record of defying science and also floated the idea of treating patients’ bodies with ultraviolet (UV) light.

Several doctors warned the public against injecting disinfectant or using UV light.

Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and a former labor secretary, tweeted: “Trump’s briefings are actively endangering the public’s health. Boycott the propaganda. Listen to the experts. And please don’t drink disinfectant.”

Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, added: “It is incomprehensible to me that a moron like this holds the highest office in the land and that there exist people stupid enough to think this is OK. I can’t believe that in 2020 I have to caution anyone listening to the president that injecting disinfectant could kill you.”

Trump was already facing a backlash over his championing of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, as a therapy for the coronavirus, a quixotic effort amplified by the conservative network Fox News. Research has found no evidence that it is beneficial and a government vaccine expert has claimed he was fired for limiting its use.


Undeterred, on Thursday Trump showcased an “emerging result” from Department of Homeland Security research that indicates coronavirus appears to weaken more quickly when exposed to sunlight, heat and humidity, raising hopes that it could become less contagious in summer months.
