Trump’s former surgeon general is now one of his most pointed critics

former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams

 

Jerome Adams, President Trump’s first-term surgeon general, is becoming one of the most prominent voices speaking out against the public health policies and decisions carried out in the president’s second term.  Adams, known as a relatively low-profile member of the Trump administration during his tenure, has in recent weeks gone on something of a media campaign against the White House’s health care choices. 

 

During the pandemic, Adams at times broke from Trump, such as when the president downplayed the death toll of COVID-19 or suggested injecting bleach to combat infections.  But now that he’s on the outside looking in, the criticism is becoming more frequent.

...

Adams has made veiled criticisms against Trump’s latest surgeon general nominee, and he’s spoken out directly against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to fire every member of a key vaccine advisory panel. The ex-surgeon general has focused his criticism on the lack of credentials of those being placed in top administration positions and what that might mean for public health.

That lie of Trump suggesting to inject bleach to combat infections has been debunked countless times already. 

It speaks volumes that the Hill is still repeating it and that you keep on posting it...

What about the Military fudging the data over injections? Don't hear too much about that.

No he did not  say bleach, but he suggested disinfectant.

A personal attack from the usual suspect has been removed, there are ways of making a statement or arguing a post without attacking the poster, so don't do it.

Can't believe I even need to post something like this. Show the levels of media brainwashing 

 

Disinfectants in Healthcare

The use of disinfectants in household and surgical settings involves different levels of disinfection based on the type of equipment and the risk of infection. In household settings, noncritical patient-care devices such as blood pressure cuffs can be disinfected with an EPA-registered hospital disinfectant following the label's safety precautions and use directions.2 Most EPA-registered hospital disinfectants have a label contact time of 10 minutes,

If I were the author of The Hill's article, I wouldn't have made the "bleach" reference, when what Trump exactly said referring to "disinfectant" and UV light inside the body in regards to COVID were equally rubbish nonsense, not surprisingly, as everyone understood at the time.

 

But, none of that changes the main point of the above article, and that is that Trump's own hand-picked former surgeon general is assailing his current public health policies and the loons like RFK Jr. and other figures with questionable qualifications that he or his minions have appointed to various public health positions in his current administration.

 

As for Trump the first time around:

Coronavirus: Outcry after Trump suggests injecting disinfectant as treatment

24 April 2020

...

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "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 of 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," the president continued.

 

"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? "So it'd be interesting to check that."  Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what." [emphasis in BOLD added above]
