The Stupid Bleach Thing

Yesterday Joe Biden posted on X that Donald Trump told people to inject bleach into their bodies to cure Covid. This is a stupid myth that clueless people with no knowledge of facts have been repeating for the last four years. Here's the truth:

During an April 2020 media briefing, Trump asked members of the government's coronavirus task force to look into whether disinfectants could be injected inside people to treat COVID-19. But when a reporter asked in a follow-up question whether cleaning products like bleach and isopropyl alcohol would be injected into a person, the then-president said those products would be used for sterilizing an area, not for injections. 

At no point did Trump tell people they could or should inject bleach into their bodies.
