UV Light Now Used Against Covid?

Well, heaven knows that if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt on issues of credibility and transparency, it’s Donald Trump.
You don't think they were pursuing experimental options at that point? OK sir...
Someone should market "Ass Lights" and watch Trump supporters buy them up.
Late run? He's been frontrunner all year. It takes a certain kind of dipsh&t to sustain that kind of idiocy.
The leader of the free world also said yesterday that trees on the ground just explode and cause forest fires. Is that more confidential insight he’s sharing with us?
You mean kinda like when Liberal Fake News lied and said your president called covid19 a hoax?
Imagine that: big pharma chasing off an effective UV therapy with antibiotics & vaccines. Color me shocked!! 
25.6. Conclusion
UV irradiation of blood was hailed as a miracle therapy for treating serious infections in the 1940s and 1950s. In an ironic quirk of fate, this historical time period coincided with the widespread introduction of penicillin antibiotics, which were rapidly found to be an even bigger medical miracle therapy. Moreover another major success of UBI, which was becoming increasingly used to treat polio, was also eclipsed by the introduction of the Salk polio vaccine in 1955 [91]. UBI had originally been an American discovery, but then was transitioned to being more studied in Russia and other eastern countries, which had long concentrated on physical therapies for many diseases, which were more usually treated with drugs in the West.
However in the last decade the problem of multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria has grown relentlessly. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pandrug resistant (PDR) bacterial strains and their related infections are emerging threats to public health throughout the world [92]. These are associated with approximately two-fold higher mortality rates and considerably prolonged hospital admissions [93]. The infections caused by antibiotic resistant strains are often exceptionally hard to treat due to the limited range of therapeutic options [94]. Recently in Feb 2015, the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance stated “Drug- resistant infections could kill an extra 10 million people across the world every year by 2050 if they are not tackled. By this date they could also cost the world around $100 trillion in lost output: more than the size of the current world economy, and roughly equivalent to the world losing the output of the UK economy every year, for 35 years” [95].
Sepsis is an uncontrolled response to infection involving massive cytokine release, widespread inflammation, which leads to blood clots and leaky vessels. Multi-organ failure can follow. Every year, severe sepsis strikes more than a million Americans. It is estimated that between 28–50% percent of these people die. Patients with sepsis are usually treated in hospital intensive care units with broad-spectrum antibiotics, oxygen and intravenous fluids to maintain normal blood oxygen levels and blood pressure. Despite decades of research, no drugs that specifically target the aggressive immune response that characterizes sepsis have been developed.
We would like to propose that UBI be reconsidered and re-investigated as a treatment for systemic infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in patients who are running out of (or who have already run out) of options. Patients at risk of death from sepsis could also be considered as candidates for UBI. Further research is required into the mechanisms of action of UBI. The present confusion about exactly what is happening during and after the treatment is playing a large role in the controversy about whether UBI could ever be a mainstream medical therapy, or must remain side-lined in the “alternative and complementary” category where it has been allowed to be forgotten for the last 50 years.

Where are you finding it is "an effective therapy"?
The company that pablow linked even puts in their own words it is a "concept".
Cool. Lots of things were "miracle cures" in the 40s and 50s. And none of them are used anymore, either, because they never worked.
One would THINK that if this were a useful therapy, that Terumo and other blood-handling device companies would have integrated it into their devices decades ago. But......nothing.
And ZERO of them refer to it as "an effective therapy".
They use UV light to disinfect rooms and equipment. Which I already posted has been the norm for many many years.
Incorrect. ZERO is how many of those 96 studies you even glanced at.
More and more hrot has become the equivalent of monkeys flinging shit.
75/75 X-Ray confirmed pneumonia cases recovered with the therapy: that’s effective.
Linked the 96 studies already.
Monkey flinging shit.
Linked the 96 studies already.
Monkey flinging shit.
So should I or should I not jam a light bulb up my ass?
Monkey flinging shit all right......'X-rays' aren't UV light
If you passed any science classes in HS, you'd know that.
CAMBUS at the U of Iowa is using high intensity UV devices for disinfecting buses after hours. It's not a constant on device, it flashes off and on like a strobe light.
Cedar Sinai hospital in Los Angeles has a UV light therapy to kill COVID-19 inside the body.
Speaking of dim bulbs, the pneumonia was CONFIRMED by X-Ray and TREATED with UV.
🙈 🙉 🙊
Yeah, they’ve been disinfecting isolation rooms like this for years. Genius.
Again: There's no reference for it.
And, once again, the uses cited here are bacterial, not viral
We would like to propose that UBI be reconsidered and re-investigated as a treatment for systemic infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in patients who are running out of (or who have already run out) of options.
AGAIN, the conclusion of YOUR link is:

That was in April
They didn't get it, because they didn't justify it was going to work.
EDIT: Also, it's never, ever a good sign when your link claims "Sterling Medical Devices" is designing your stuff, and the link doesn't take you to "Sterling Medical Devices"....
https://www.cortellis.com/intelligence/login.do
Nor is said device listed, anywhere, on the actual Sterling Medical Devices site....
Odd

Though the Knott device was initially used to treat bacterial infections, it was also used to treat viral infections. Miley and Christensen treated 79 consecutive patients with acute viral infections, including mumps, herpes zoster, herpes simplex, and numerous cases of polio. Following UVBI treatment, they observed rapid recovery in most polio cases as well as in the mumps and herpes cases (Miley & Christensen, 1948). In a 1955 case series report by Olney, which predated hepatitis subtype classification, 43 cases of acute viral hepatitis were treated with UVBI. Thirty-one patients were classified as acute infectious hepatitis and 12 patients were classified as acute serum hepatitis. Olney observed a swift subsidence of symptoms and decreasing liver inflammatory markers following UVBI treatment (Olney, 1955). By the late 1940s, in excess of 60,000 UVBI treatments had been administered in the United States
Once AGAIN: "Case Reports" are NOT randomized studies. It's how you got stuck on HCQ for Covid, which isn't considered a treatment anymore.
Any randomized studies of this therapy?
