NYT Reporter Flags Video to Youtube Because It Shows UV Light Treatment to Fight Virus Similar to What Trump Described
Posted at 10:30 pm on April 25, 2020 by Nick Arama

Media went a little wild on Friday spreading the false story that President Donald Trump told people to inject themselves with disinfectants like bleach or Lysol.

That wasn’t what Trump actually said, as we previously reported. He didn’t suggest anyone inject bleach or Lysol. He was asking questions in the context of the presentation just given by the DHS undersecretary Bill Bryan about the benefit of sunlight or UV light to disinfect or kill the virus. He asked if there “something like that” that could work as a possible treatment.

Turns out, as we noted, there are also scientists who were exploring this very concept, using ultraviolet light to “disinfect” the lungs.

Many people shared a video showing the work of doctors at Cedar Sinai who have developed the “Healight.”



From Townhall:

The idea is to administer ultraviolet light inside the bodies of patients inflicted with respiratory infections. The research team at Cedars-Sinai is currently working with the FDA to explore an expedited regulatory process to use the treatment as a possible medical intervention for those suffering from the Wuhan coronavirus.

They’re working with Aytu BioScience to help develop and market it.

The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus.
…
“Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells,” stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, “Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens.

So, it sounds like scientists don’t think that Trump’s idea was all that silly, right? That they’re actually already working on it. There are also multiple other efforts underway looking at the use of UV light to kill the virus.

But this didn’t sit well with a New York Times reporter, Davey Alba, who says that she flagged the video to Youtube because people were spreading it in the wake of Trump’s comments.



How incredible is this? She’s literally tried to shut down a description of a possible therapy by enterprising scientists because it might actually back up what Trump said. And Youtube pulled it for “violating standards.” What standards? Being something that shows Trump might be right?

Fortunately, the video had already been downloaded everywhere and Aytu BioScience has a backup on their site. “For reasons still unclear.”

Many are now talking about UV light being used as a treatment for COVID-19. We are proud to have teamed up with @MarkPimentelMD and his team at @CedarsSinai. They developed Healight. Peer-reviewed data will be published in days, but here's how it works: https://t.co/9E6dyOkwhI

It’s called media TDS and describes those who can’t stand to see Trump be right about anything and so are willing to censor actual science intended to help fight the virus.

TDS has gotten so bad we have reached the "He could cure cancer and they would hate him for it" scenario.

does this makes uv light dialysis any less exceptional

Yes, just let go of trying to make it as bad as saying "Inject bleach" already, you'll feel better.

 

[FAQnews Correspondent]

Maybe this is why people keep supporting President Trump.

No, it's the children who are wrong they're just death-cult racists.

They're willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes to stop the big bad orange man.

Trump said to literally inject disinfectants. The delusion and cope is unreal.

"THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. 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 would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me. "

He's not saying that at ALL.

The video is in this very thread. It describes an invasive procedure (in this case a specialized catheter inserted into the breathing tube) where a disinfectant (specially-measured UVA light) cleans the body (the lungs). That interpretation is much closer to the president's actual quote than what I've read elsewhere.

The technology has been around few years in the dental industry, when I had to have a molar crowned they constantly shoved the UV emitting wand thing in my mouth.

UV-C boxes were being mentioned by that WoW dev guy Grummz, like a month ago, for sterilizing masks, keys, phones, and other common infection carrying objects.

Except he's asking a question not telling anyone to do anything. Specifically he's asking about this UV disinfecting treatment.

Two days prior to this briefing AYTU Bioscience announced their deal with Cedars Sinai to develop this exact technology. It's obvious where he heard about it, he follows the market.

I bet you still think Sarah Palin actually said she could see Russia from her house too.

 

[thismanlies]

The media needs so desperately for the Clorox narrative to be true that they're censoring anything that might point to the contrary. Just when I think I can't lose any more respect for them, they keep pulling shit like this.

You should be a passenger in the short bus, not the driver.

You should try to point out where he told people to drink bleach and not describe a technology from a shareholder call two days earlier.

You should quote me where I ever said he claimed that people should drink bleach.

Out of context. Try harder next time.

How is that out of context lmao? He literally is talking about injecting disinfectant into people. The cope is so strong. He even tried to brush it off as him being sarcastic. Your attempt to cape for him fails because he tried to dismiss the comment because he realized it was re-tarded as fuck.

 

[ZehnBoat]

Honestly, they don't want treatments or cures. They want people to die to own Trump.
Like it's not even amusing anymore, it's just ghoulish.

But follow the science! (Only if it's the science we like.)

tbh, that's how everyone is when they get too deep into politics


politics are a mistake

I think it was 20 years ago I first heard about using UV light as a water treatment to kill bacteria, viruses and germs in general. It was a really cheap, effective and accessible way to provide less deadly drinkable water in Africa and India. The process was simple: fill clear plastic bottles with water. Lay [edit: them] down on roof facing the scorching sun, turn them from time to time, after a day it's free from pathogens because the UV rays from the sun nuked them.

In current year that no longer works it seems.

UV light also gives people skin cancer for the same reason it kills viruses, most everyone knows that.

Yeah but let’s shine that light into our respiratory system and see how that pans out

 

[Just Here for A and H]

Twitter has also suspended Aytu Bioscience's account. They're the company pitching and working on those Healights. Classy as always, media!

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Yeah but let’s shine that light into our respiratory system and see how that pans out

That's what actual medical researchers are doing, and they're saying that there's a good outlook for it.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Chemo is bad as well.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Chemo is bad as well.

Yeah chemo is "kill the cancer before killing the body". It's sane the lengths people are going to in order to avoid giving Trump credit.
