    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Brandon Morse

    Irony, anyone? He referenced UV blood irradiation to defend @realDonaldTrump's comments about "getting light inside" to kill #SARSCoV2 and treat #COVID19, apparently blissfully unaware that this is a quack treatment that has *never* been convincingly shown to treat anything.😂🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/TheBrandonMorse/status/1253682708066242565 …

        Seriously, though. If you start looking at who offers UV blood irradiation, it's mainly chiropractors, naturopaths, and "integrative medicine" quacks. It's quackery, plain and simple, and Mr. Morse owes me a new irony meter using it to defend Trump's remarks.

        What next? Inhaled nebulized hydrogen peroxide? Intravenous peroxide? Ozone therapy Trump's remarks will embolden quacks, including the #MMS quacks who treat autism with bleach enemas.

        And, as predicted, it’s already happening. The quacks are using Trump’s ignorant speculations to tout #MMS, UV blood irradiation, and hydrogen peroxide. 🤦🏻‍♂️https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/24/president-trump-jaqing-about-disinfectants-uv-light/ …

        I sense satire. Seriously, reading that manuscript, I get the distinct feeling of a winking eye.

        To quote a biologist tweep of mine, "Of course- the amount of UV radiation you'd need to kill an RNA-based virus already replicating in your body would turn you into a crispy, smoking meat-suit." Thanks for a great quote, @kaimatai

        To be fair, he does say "Don't believe the blue checks" and there's a blue check next to his name...
