Is there some other disinfectant that we could be injecting that would not be of roughly equal harm?
Because I don't think injecting hydrogen peroxide, benzalkonium chloride, or isopropyl alcohol is going to have an effect that's any better.

Which is absurd, regardless of whether or not he specifically meant bleach, and bleach is a perfectly reasonable stand in.
