Trump demands pharmaceutical companies release Covid drug success rates
My oldest was in the initial Pfzier COVID trial. Luckily my oldest was in the vaccine group. Pfzier did not tell him which group he was in until early January. These vaccines are carefully tested and approved.
Trump's demand to make the data public comes amid escalating divisions between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I think they should provide that only after the Trump administration provided their failure rates.

He did not specify what data he would like to be released, nor what specific "drugs" he meant, whether that be vaccination or anti-viral medications such as Paxlovid.
Pfizer, the only company named by Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a press release announcing its distribution for new vaccinations last week, the company did include a link to its most recent presentation, from May, on its vaccine efficacy.
Moderna’s presentation, also from May, is similarly available through the Food and Drug Administration’s website......
Vaccinations must be approved through the FDA, which requires companies to submit data for review. Since 2020, manufacturers have submitted new Covid vaccines for approval to target specific strains similar to the annual flu vaccination.
The latest vaccination strain was unanimously approved to be distributed this fall by the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee.
I am amused by the fact that my oldest is now using the Moderna vaccine because it has more active ingredient compared to the Pfzier vaccine.

In fact I DEMAND to know .. do those adult diapers really work? Or maybe they're just wasting people's money...
Why should Uncle Sam reimburse senior citizens who buy Depends, since we don't know whether they work or not?
Yeah, that's how absurd his argument is.
