CORONAVIRUS/FDA/HHS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar pushed back Wednesday against claims that President Trump pressured the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to authorize the use of convalescent plasma to treat coronavirus patients, but he did credit Trump for removing ‘unnecessary bureaucratic red tape that stands in the way of saving lives.’…
The announcement authorizing the use of convalescent plasma came a day after Trump accused the ‘deep state’ of making it hard for drug companies to test coronavirus treatments — and suggested the agency is acting on political motivations and trying to delay them until after Election Day.”
