Video captured Okeechobee County Commissioner Bryant Culpepper bragging about his paramedic background before telling the meeting you can blow a hairdryer up your nose to kill all the viruses inside. He also said the "cure" came from a coronavirus expert and that some cures for diseases are quite simple.
On Facebook, many users slammed the commissioner, saying he was "dangerously ignorant" and warning against the spread of misinformation. Following the backlash, Culpepper apologized for the claim and causing embarrassment to his Fellow Commissioners, while also saying he will not give any more suggestions that have not been "tried and proven."
