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

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.
