He never advocated injecting bleach.


Nobody ever advocated injecting bleach. Blowing up one off-the-cuff remark is all fun and games in politics, but it was never a policy. The policy was lockdowns, restrictions and Operation Warp Speed.

The man did enough that was actually objectionable, people shouldn't feel a need to make up silly stuff.


"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing, And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."


That reads as "I don't know if this is viable, so let me ask the experts" to me. Rather than advocacy.


Another reading might be inhaling bleach


To me, that reading requires assuming bad faith.
