And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in 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 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.
Yeah, and it’s not the worst thing some so-called humans have ingested, just out of stupidity or because someone else told them to. The tide pod challenge will always be a low point for us as an species.
Apparently that was way overblown. There were only a handful of cases IIRC. Still, it’s pretty dumb but it wasn’t everywhere like the media was pretending.
Well, a certain ex-president made an offhand remark trying to belittle the seriousness of covid and compared actual medicine with disinfectant
The internet being the internet, the meme became “drink/inject bleach!” and I guess some people actually took it seriously despite its obvious insanity.
It was (somehow) worse than belittling COVID. Trump took the tiny amount of knowledge he had on a subject (“this sign says bleach kills COVID in surfaces”), extrapolated it out into a “solution” that was obviously wrong in so many ways, and then insisted that he must be right because he’s an Amazing Genius That’s Smarter Than Anyone Else.
Then, the Trump sycophants online took his statement and ran with it because he’s an Amazing Genius That’s Smarter Than Anyone Else. If doctors told them that bleach was dangerous to use in that way, they were dismissed as liberal intellectual elites trying to stop them from getting the real COVID cure.
It’s stupidity following stupidity while announcing themselves as the height of intelligence.
Bleach is a legitimate way of sanitizing drinking water. It’s not a particularly long stretch to get from the sensible idea of properly using bleach to kill pathogens in your drinking water to the idiotic idea of using bleach to kill pathogens in your body. Even more so if you don’t subscribe to germ theory, and bleach just “magically” improves the safety of your water supply.
Edit: disregard. Apparently, they were using an entirely different chemical. I can’t even fathom how they could have thought it would work.
How did they come up with this, and why? Did someone told them to “drink bleach lol”, then had an eureka moment?
Um, Trump did several times when he was president
Not really, but the bleach and UV thing was even worse than most think.
All you can find now are videos of his dumb comments, but what led up to those was even dumber.
Trumps getting ready to take the stage and pauses to read a CDC infographic poster. A poster on how to sterilize surfaces. No lie.
Like an idiot child who didn’t do his homework, he went up and there and just started spouting bullshit he had just read moments before.
xkcd
There’s always a relevant XKCD.
The whole thing was like the “light house on fire to kill spider” meme…
Like sure, bleach kills COVID… it just also kills people too.

They do look so much like candy

Drinking bleach as medicine has been around longer than Trump, this church was started in 2010 and I don’t think they were pioneers.
