(AFP, London, 1st) Former British Prime Minister Johnson made controversial remarks from time to time during his tenure. According to his former aides, Johnson asked the British government’s chief scientific adviser early in the COVID-19 outbreak whether there was a “special hair dryer” that might be used to blow into the nostrils to kill the virus.

Agence France-Presse reports that in March 2020, when the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) epidemic began to spread around the world, Johnson & Johnson shared with officials information regarding a man who YouTube video of using a hair dryer on your nose to “kill Covid”.

It is reported that when the situation was at its worst, Johnson & Johnson asked UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Officer Patrick Vallance what they thought of the video, which was later removed from YouTube.

The British newspaper “The Independent” reported that this theory was circulated on social media at the time and was considered almost as ridiculous as former US President Trump’s suggestion of injecting bleach into the body to fight the epidemic.

According to reports, during the epidemic, the media often included this idea in the list of epidemic myths.
