Trump to reveal coronavirus 'breakthrough' therapeutic, WH press secretary says
Fox News ^ | 8/23/20 | Brie Stimson

Posted on 08/23/2020 5:04:37 AM PDT by grayboots

President Trump plans to hold a news conference Sunday evening regarding a potential major therapeutic “breakthrough” for treating the coronavirus.

The president will announce the development at 6 p.m., accompanied by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Dr. Stephen Hahn, head of the Food and Drug Administration, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany posted on Twitter late Saturday.

Earlier in the day, the president suggested someone at the FDA was purposefully trying to delay clinical trials for therapeutics and vaccines for political purposes.

“Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd,” Trump tweeted, referring to Election Day. “Must focus on speed, and saving lives!” The president didn’t expand on the accusation or provide any evidence.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi quickly rebuked the president's accusation as “dangerous.”

"The FDA has a responsibility to approve drugs, judging on their safety and their efficacy, not by a declaration from the White House about speed and politicizing the FDA," Pelosi said in a news conference on Capitol Hill, according to The Hill.

If there’s any foot-dragging or hesitancy, it’s the dems/deep state etc doing it, at the FDA.

Better pray it works and does not back-fire without the normal FDA trials. If it goes bad it will not matter if Trump is reelected he’ll be riden out of town on a rail.

We need to spread the word so millions of people watch tonight.

It would be great were Trump to have Louie Gohmert at his side telling the world how HCQ successfully treated him.

I knew some drug reps down in Jax FL.
One told me that average time from beginning to being available on the market is around 7 years.
Does anyone know if that’s correct?

For disclosure, I won’t be taking any vaccine for covid.

... with the urging and support of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Biden/Harris and most democrats in congress.

The best “therapeutic” would be the firing of Fauxi, Birx, and the whole lot of them, and get some REAL doctors.

Whatever are you talking about...The President does not control the use of drugs....doctors do....and people like Fauci who disagrees with the President as his mission in all this.

Look at all the early press conferences prior to the last month. Fauci stands side by side to the President and NEVER....NEVER....wears a mask. Why Not?? Because he said so....until last month...

When I saw this last night, Pelosi and her flying monkeys in the MSM were ripping Trump for making this accusations "with no proof or any type of corroborating evidence", yada, yada, yada.

I thought then that DJT doesn't make these types of pronouncements unless he's sitting on something good.

Trump is letting this steep last night and this morning and I'll bet that he's setting something good up.

Love seeing the Demotrash get their ass handed to 'em.

If Trump announces it then the Democrats will refuse treatment.

The media already has their ‘experts’ teed up to tell us that it won’t work or that it’s dangerous. No they don’t know what it is, but that doesn’t matter. It’s dangerous and doesn’t work.

That would be the best announcement - it is effective in early stages and as a prophylactic but the dems don't want effective treatments. They instead want to destroy our country and institute totalitarian rule over the people.

What kind or world you live in, or reality you inhabit?
