'tain't going to work. All the advice is that 60% alcohol content is needed

But, of course, you only need the alcohol if you haven't got running
water available to wash your hands. The gel is sufficiently unpleasant
that it is best to wash your hands as soon as possible to remove the
residue.

That is in fact the point. If you want to really sterilise your hands,
wash them in bleach. Or Dettol or any other of a number of pretty
vicious anti-viral and anti-bacterial chemicals

Soap is pretty good. Its what surgeons use IIRC

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
