Trump calls on pharmaceutical companies to justify success of COVID drugs

WASHINGTON (Reuters): U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday called on pharmaceutical companies to justify the success of their drugs intended to treat COVID.

He said there is disagreement on whether the drugs saved lives.

“With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public.”
