The problem is that drinking urine, anybody's urine, hasn't been demonstrated to cure COVID-19, so it's recklessly idiotic to recommend it. If that wasn't bad enough, the recommendation occurred while simultaneously rejecting vaccination, something that has actually been demonstrated to be effective at reducing COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death.
In other words, we don't recommend treatments just because they haven't been disproven to work. We recommend treatments when they've been proven to work. It's like accepting or rejecting a claim to be true. We accept claims to be true when there's evidence for them. We do not accept claims to be true just because they haven't been disproven.
Also, drinking urine is gross. However, I have a feeling the former president wouldn't have thought so.
Posting claims or counter-claims isn't "dismissing" them. I was perfectly ok without it being brought up. Someone thought it was important enough to weigh in on it. A reporter claimed it was false, so I am curious who tested it.
