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.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

Yeah I know what he really said, but that interpretation is funny. It would be cool if they were able to hook people up to ECMO and flush their lungs with something that kills the virus but isn't too harmful to the lung tissue or do something similar. Giving people poison in the right dose to help is a great deal of medicine.

If there was a way to stop the breathing but keeping the blood oxygenated while they did it would be some neat tech.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Chemo is bad as well.

Imagine when people find out most medicine we take can kill us if not taken properly...

Wait, didn't they do that with Hydrocloroquine? Yes, they totally did. Doesn't matter that hidroc has been used for decades before, Trump said it will be used to treat covid, so now it's poison and let's stop talking about it.

Fucking people...

 

[Disheveled Human]

If there was a way to stop the breathing but keeping the blood oxygenated while they did it would be some neat tech.

Unfortunately even if the concept of lung cleaning via chemical or UV light was a viable solution It would not be useful for this pandemic since it would require years to perfect the procedure through testing (most likely on animals) and then training doctors/surgeons to be able to pull off the procedure, by that point the vaccine will have already been made and deployed to the public.

 

[WonderWino]

That's why the video explains they're going to filter the UV light so only the harmless UV-A is being used. Which supposedly still kills bacteria and viruses at the correct wattage. Now! If they get this working is up in the air. If it cleans out the lungs, though, it should make it easier to recover for the patient and seems easier than lung lavage. Of course it could also set fire to test dummies.

I hope it does work and helps, but that's because I'd like future deaths to be preventable. Hopefully these madlads can pull it off without any Griswald Christmas Vacation mishaps.

UV-A isn't harmless. Its safer others in the UV spectrum but not what you'd call safe:

Although black lights produce light in the UV range, their spectrum is mostly confined to the longwave UVA region, that is, UV radiation nearest in wavelength to visible light, with low frequency and therefore relatively low energy. While low, there is still some power of a conventional black light in the UVB range.[20] UVA is the safest of the three spectra of UV light, although high exposure to UVA has been linked to the development of skin cancer in humans. The relatively low energy of UVA light does not cause sunburn. UVA is capable of causing damage to collagen fibers, however, so it does have the potential to accelerate skin aging and cause wrinkles. UVA can also destroy vitamin A in the skin.

UVA light has been shown to cause DNA damage, but not directly, like UVB and UVC. Due to its longer wavelength, it is absorbed less and reaches deeper into skin layers, where it produces reactive chemical intermediates such as hydroxyl and oxygen radicals, which in turn can damage DNA and result in a risk of melanoma. The weak output of black lights, however, is not considered sufficient to cause DNA damage or cellular mutations in the way that direct summer sunlight can, although there are reports that overexposure to the type of UV radiation used for creating artificial suntans on sunbeds can cause DNA damage, photoaging (damage to the skin from prolonged exposure to sunlight), toughening of the skin, suppression of the immune system, cataract formation and skin cancer.[

tldr: its not likely to be harmful with the kind of use we're talking about here, but its not exactly what you'd call perfectly safe, nor would I be too eager to bet my life on its safety

Lol with knowledge of the properties of helium you could absolutely determine the properties of hydrogen. You really couldn't have picked a worse example if you tried, hydrogen is the simplest element in the universe.

Indeed, in fact many elements on the periodic table were discovered literally by doing just that

That's what ECMO is. There aren't many machines around though.

Ever see a periodic table retard

Hydrogen is a group one element, helium is functionally a noble gas. Their properties are literally as far apart as they can be at a chemical level. Helium is the least reactive gas possible while hydrogen will bond with almost everything. You could kinda guess at their density and other physical properties, but if you're only baseline is hydrogen you're not going to know anything about helium beyond "Well it is pretty light"

There is, but it's pretty horrible. They'll hook you up to it if they're doing something major on your heart or lungs, but it's a risky endeavor at the best of times. Definitely not something to use lightly.

 

[ColtWalker1847]

TBH I would rather just take the covid-19 infection then have UV light placed on sensitive lung tissues or any sort of 'disinfectant' used to give my lungs a 'cleaning'. Call me crazy.

Yeah, I'm a little concerned too. The whole idea of sunburning my lungs to pwn the coof sounds really unpleasant.

 

[Uranus Pink]

Yeah, I'm a little concerned too. The whole idea of sunburning my lungs to pwn the coof sounds really unpleasant.

Problem is just about all of the treatments for the coof are "unpleasant" and it is a matter of picking your poison for either more effectiveness or less unpleasantness.

I'm a freckled fuck a half-shade from ginger. The coof I can handle because my immune system is a rockstar. But that horrible ball of fire in the sky... it scares me. UV light on tissue without a hint of melanin is no bueno.

 

[heathercho]

This was used before the crown was installed and after the tooth had been cleaned out, he specifically said it was a UV treatment to kill bacteria and germs.

UV is used to kill bacteria, 100%. In vet settings, they use UV to disinfect from various viruses. I don't know why this is surprising to some people.
Anyone who keeps a reptile or bird should know that.

Oh shit, the I fucking love science is coming from inside the house! I didn't say dick about guessing helium's properties from hydrogen, I said the exact opposite. Learn to read and try again.

Do you think it works any better the other way around?

I did a custom search using the term AYTU from 2015-2019 and the only thing that comes up is stock related links. No mentions of any kind of new cutting edge treatments and procedures being talked about seems super fishy to me. The fact the quickly slapped together video got uploaded the day trump talked about UV being a potential treatment seems like the company released the video to generate interest from investors in their stock.

https://web.archive.org/web/20200419205302/https://aytubio.com/ A snapshot of their official website from april 19 2020 (a week ago) shows no mention of the Healight product anywhere on their site only shilling for covid-19 rapid test kits. Clearly to me this company seems bunk. If you go back further pre coronavirus the site comes across as a pharmaceutical company with zero products that relate in any way to viral infection whatsoever.

Furthermore here is an article showing a fraud investigation launched by AYTU bio investors over AYTU purchasing unreliable Rapid covid test kits from China and using them in at least 2 states. Needless to say this company has some serious red flags going on.

a chinese doctor out of wuhan claimed that corona is more like AIDS than the flu
. there may never be a vaccine.

Still the idea of lung cleaning in the event it was airborne AIDS wouldn't work HIV/AIDS does not hide in the lung.

Hmm... Even if the company and their products are a scam, the fact that the usual suspects of YouTube and Twitter are so adamantly slamming down on their videos make them sound like they're trying to deny information to the public to go after Trump. The question on my mind is "Why would they do that?" Users in the TDS thread are suggesting that Bleachgate is a distraction from Biden's sexual assault allegations, which I say sounds likely.

Yeah, my central air condition has a UV light in it to kill airborne micro-shitters. Ultraviolet irradiation has proven germicidal properties. I don't know if it will help with medical treatments, but my wife will tell you it does wonders for the indoor air quality.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Remember when journalists were supposed to be neutrals that reported the news? Can't have celebration about a possible cure, no sir! Live in the pod, eat bugs, jerk off to your long-distance troonwife you share with other men.

To be honest, I prefer the era of overtly politically charged media, but with a twist. In the old 1800s days, newspapers would OPENLY declare their political affiliation. Now, many papers have gotten about to where they do that, but it could be more widespread than it is. I think it's better for people to be biased and upfront about it than biased and hide it. Asking them to not be biased is too much, you'll never get that.
