Really? you really want to argue that Trump wondering if disinfectant can be injected to destroy the virus is anything other than dangerously ignorant?

We have things that can be injected to destroy the virus. They are called "vaccines".

Trumps dumb suggestion is like watching someone use a weed whacker in their yard, then asking if microscopic weed whackers can be injected to fight the virus. I expect it off a young child, not a President.

You mean monoclonal antibodies[0]? Vaccines are far too slow for a fast-moving virus like this if you are already exposed.
