Plus there's an article linked between the paragraphs about the same.
If governments actually decide to go with this in any capacity, the best case scenario is that it does nothing except waste even more trillions of dollars. Worst case, it actually somewhat works, and it obliterates most people's immune systems because the bug people living in their germicidal-light-lit pods won't be exposed to harmless germs - until one evolves that doesn't give a shit about the lights and causes another muh pandemic.
We've already seen the catastrophic effects of lack of exposure in children.
The really concerning part to me is this bit:
