Lysol Producer Says Do Not Ingest or Inject to Fight Coronavirus
Source: Mediaite
The British company that makes Lysol, and other disinfectants, released a public statement imploring consumers NOT to administer their disinfectant products in the human body. The remarkable statement comes hours after President Donald Trump curiously suggested some medically questionable remedies to the deadly Covid-19 contagion behind the coronavirus pandemic.
During Thursday nights regular White House briefing from the coronavirus task force, President Trump suggested that household bleaching agents in most surface disinfectants to a possible internal treatment for humans, which would be toxic and possibly fatal.
Then I see the disinfectant, one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, Trump noted. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So itd be interesting to check that so that youll have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds interesting to me. So well see, but the whole concept of the light, where it goes in one minute. Thats pretty powerful.
Reckitt Benckiser Group is a British multinational consumer goods company that produces Lysol among many other disinfecting household goods, directly responded to Trumps comments, writing we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route).

And then, of course, their survivors would sue the manufacturers for "not warning" them.
(Also, while the prospect of trumpkins eliminating themselves en masse gives me a warm cozy feeling in my tum-tum, I'm still having a hard enough time getting my hands on disinfectants as it is.)

My family is off to Wal-Mart today to buy some syringes and a couple of gallons of Clorox bleach. No one in this family is getting COVID!

"President Donald Trump curiously suggested..."
1) Was added at the recent request of the current acting Press Secretary among others.
2) Curiously? CURIOUSLY? Oh, come on! The man is a F@#$#@@@ MORON! Come out and say it. Even mentioning such an insane idea as somehow ingesting cleaning products by someone of his stature in a nationally televised press briefing is criminally irresponsible at the very least. START.CALLING.HIM.ON.IT! Or, you're no better than he is. People will die! Is that what you want?

(12,051 posts)stop this madness, not even the doctors, who, FFS, make great money and can afford to be retired/fired/etc. in order to uphold science and reason in the face of this madness. Why are they all so cowardly when faced with a starkly clear moral choice?

Clearly she chose the latter.

Legal term for this? 'Malice aforethought' might apply.
Honestly Trump, STFU!!!!!!!
But before you do, admit you see your chances of a second term slipping away, admit the country is in need of leadership you can't muster, and admit you are desperate!
