Original Note:
Trump did not explicitly tell people to inject or drink bleach to cure COVID. In speaking to a DHS representative at this 2020 briefing, Trump did suggest that scientists should *research* using a cleaning agent inside the body or using UV light to combat COVID. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jul/11/joe-biden/no-trump-didnt-tell-americans-infected-coronavirus/ https://www.cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/reduced-viral-loads-seen-in-covid-19-patients-treated-with-uva-light/ https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/apr/24/context-what-donald-trump-said-about-disinfectant-/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8234768/
