So you you're telling me I've just wasted two bottles of cilit bang?

[Mr.Northman]

FFS, guess i'll be putting the disinfectant back in the cupboard then... Tut!!

[alexandrebriard]

But trump never suggested that anybody should inject themselves disinfectant same for the UV light he was talking to a scientist or something about researches and how he had found these methods of treatment interesting...

[MMasod]

It is a good idea...why don't we try it on him...

March 2023 - A Freedom of Information request submitted as part of an investigation by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has exposed that the General Medical Council (GMC) has substantial investments in controversial infant formula manufacturer Nestlé, as well as fast food and soft drink companies, including McDonald's, Starbucks, Pepsico, Coca-Cola, and Unilever, owner of ice cream brands Magnum, Wall's, and Ben & Jerry's.

They really do treat the public like morons; media and politicians alike!!

[KieranMcgovern]

If anyone even thinks injecting disinfectant into your body to treat anything is a good idea then i didn’t know how bad the world has gone

[UBStreetView]

So I've been checking the coronavirus chart and on that chart the UK's total recovered stats were 0. Same goes for Netherlands. Does anyone know why it's zero?

[equalitypeace]

The fact it says on disinfectant bottle harmful to human health that would suffice

I literally just put down my dettol syringe thank god I found this video - I wish I could vote for trump

[medusa]

This video saved my life. I was about to take Mr.Trump’s advice and inject myself.

No wonder Domestos ran out at my local Tesco.

[tonywebber]

Evening standard....put it into the context it came from and stop trying to create more lies through your poor manipulation of words..

[cheekymonk]

The simple answer would have been "NO!"

[Richard-pecx]

the difference between the sponser of the treatment and the educated rebuttal is miles apart

[chriskeenan]

Awww, ffs I’ve just panic bought all the disinfectant in Tesco. Dayum!!!

[trevortrevortsr]

Embalming a live subject is never a good idea

[Pikachu-izkk]
