First came the headlines: "Experts Warn Against Inhaling Bleach After Trump Comments" (Time), "Quack-in-Chief Sees Injected Bleach, Tanning as COVID Cures" (The Intercept), "Trump comments prompt doctors, and Lysol, to warn against injecting disinfectants" (The Washington Post), "Donald Trump's prescription for coronavirus: quite literally toxic" (The Guardian), "'It's irresponsible and it's dangerous': Experts rip Trump's idea of injecting disinfectant to treat COVID-19" (NBC News).
