It's reasonably safe assumption that trump didn't suggest infecting disinfectant either, but you're giving the media the benefit of the doubt they don't deserve.

Trump has taken a very different approach. Trump has prevented a doctor from responding to questions about its use. Trump was actively saying we have no time for tests, lets just use it. It appears he also fired the director of the US health department’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority for not endorsing its use.

To say that meeting with a researcher to gather information is going further than publicly shilling for its use and cracking down on those in his administration who don't advocate for it is going further is very much not accurate.

"Asked about the report, the presidential adviser said Macron had taken note of a certain number of elements presented by the professor and would give it careful consideration, in particular at a meeting with his scientific advisory panel.

Macron has yet to publicly share his opinion on the controversy."

"HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents)....."
