You’re leaving out so much context I can’t believe you are acting in good faith.

Full quote:

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

It’s pretty clear he is referring to the uva as the “injected disenfectant” here.

Since you're concerned with context, they'd previously been discussing actual disinfectant. The slide is pictured in the BBC's coverage: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177

> "COMMONLY AVAILALBLE DISINFECTANTS (Bleach & Isopropyl Alcohol) work to kill the virus"

UVA is a disinfectant now? To me it’s clear he’s listing things he’s heard and UVA and disinfectant are unrelated topics of discussion.

The ridicule heaped on him was not about him mentioning things that were discussed around him. It’s that he clearly had a very weak grasp of what was being discussed and couldn’t then clearly communicate that and ended up sounding completely incompetent.

The phrase “Sunlight is the best disinfectant” exists for a reason.

That's not clear, and even reading it now I didn't think of that interpretation without you pointing it out.

Fair enough. He suggested that injecting bleach could be a good idea.

No he didn’t, read the full quote in context.

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning" sounds a lot like injecting disinfectant. I admit the original, rambling, confused and barely coherent reduced-vocabulary speech can be interpreted in a multitude of ways, some of which aren't insane, but this is Donnie we are talking about.

That is cherry picked from 2 full paragraphs of context, I posted it in another comment above, check my history.

I copied it out of your quote. It's there, right in the middle of his confused flow of thought. What is your interpretation? Is he still talking about light when he mentions the injection right after the disinfectant?
Re:Harnessing the benefits of UVA light treatment in Covid-1... by rubyist5eva on Thursday October 14, 2021 @11:24AM (#28865586)
He's comparing the light to the disenfectant, and intrigued by the idea of "injecting" the light to do the same job that a disenfectant does on a surface.

"so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of *the light*, the way *it kills it in one minute*."

I mean, the comprehension here is not that difficult.

Maybe you need to brush up on your "Queens-speak Translator".

"And then I see the disinfectant" is a very strange construction to refer to the effect of light, but you are entitled to "your truth" it seems, at least according to the current doublethink norms the GOP follows.
Re:Harnessing the benefits of UVA light treatment in Covid-1... by rubyist5eva on Thursday October 14, 2021 @02:00PM (#28867700)
Not a republican, but I find the insult ironic because "your truth" is something that radical liberals use to justify their own doublethink.

"I'm not a republican" ... "radical liberals justifying your doublethink..."

hmmmmmm

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

yes, extremely definitely not a republican, we can definitely tell because you said so right at the start, and it's not like people would just go on the internet and pretend to be moderates, knowing that "moderation" is a trait that many people inherently assume to be credible and balanced.

if you're gonna try to pull the "well ackshually I'm a moderate" you gotta try and sell it a little better, don't immediately leap right to the fox news political slurs in literally the same sentence as you try to frame yourself as a moderate. Kinda gives away the game a bit.

I find it surprising that Fox News political slurs are showing up even here.
