"President appears divided between RFK Jr. and detractors, despite clear evidence favoring vaccines

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday urged pharmaceutical companies to publicly prove that their Covid-19 products work, saying in a Truth Social post that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is “being ripped apart over this question.”

“I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” he wrote in what appeared to be his first public acknowledgement of recent tumult at the CDC.

Drug companies have long shared findings with government regulators and the public showing that their Covid-19 products are overwhelmingly safe and effective. In his post, Trump said he has been shown data demonstrating the vaccines and drugs are effective and have saved millions of lives, but he accused the companies behind the products of not sharing that information publicly — or with officials at the CDC.

Trump used the post, which comes five days after the ouster of Susan Monarez as director of the CDC and resignation of several other top officials, to urge companies to “clear up this MESS, one way or the other.”

They have already demonstrated it through clinical trials you imbecile. They have involved tens of thousands of volunteers of different ages, races, and ethnicities.

I get so frustrated reading this crap. We are being led by complete idiots.

3. Yes, clinical trials and LESS DEATHS.

There could have been way less deaths during TSF's first term, but he was worried about re-election and decided to listen to every silver bullet quack remedy out there.

4. But wouldn't that be SCIIIIIIII-EEEEENCE. (church lady voice)

5. No they're being ripped apart because of him and his shitty propaganda channels.

6. He means demonstrates to HIM

Which is impossible because RFK Jr. will tell him the opposite right afterwards, and he always agrees with whoever talks to him last.

7. All because he nominated an anti-vaxxer freak to run the CDC

never forget that the republican party has supported his crazy shit all the way.
