| 0:00.0 | All right, I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. Look, we know leadership matters especially now, |
| 0:07.8 | as we struggle for guidance on reopening. We need the president to be on the same page with science. |
| 0:14.2 | Doubting the utility of testing, it's just silly. But throwing out the idea of household disinfectant injections and shooting light into the body |
| 0:25.1 | as a cure for the virus. What? Talk about the cure being worse than a disease. Somebody better |
| 0:32.8 | take the president's temperature. The bigger question is, why does our president keep throwing out these |
| 0:38.9 | unproven remedies and continue to downplay the science and scientists who should be guiding us right now? |
| 0:46.3 | We also have more news tonight on that vaccine official who claims he's been sidelized by the president. |
| 0:51.9 | One thing's for sure, he has not been silenced. Also, |
| 0:55.7 | we knew we were going to learn that many more of us have been exposed to this virus than those |
| 1:00.0 | who have been counted. But this preliminary antibody data in New York could help us figure out |

| 1:32.4 | and we'll see if there's any science to it. |
| 1:35.2 | But let's be clear, the chloroquine thing was a genius stroke compared to this poppycock. |
| 1:42.1 | Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. |
| 1:49.3 | 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. |
| 1:57.0 | And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting. |
| 2:06.6 | Right. And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. |
| 2:15.7 | And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? |
| 2:19.4 | Because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number of the lungs. |
| 2:23.5 | So it would be interesting to check that so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with. |
