FDA commissioner declines to back Trump assertion on ‘harmless’ coronavirus cases

On ABC’s “This Week,” co-anchor Martha Raddatz asked Hahn if Trump’s statement was accurate.

“Well, let's talk about where we are right now. We're seeing cases around the Sun Belt,” Hahn said. “We are certainly concerned, at the White House corona task force, about this … We've sent teams into those states to actually help with taking care of the patients who are now with Covid-19.”“You know, any case, we don't want to have in this country. This is a very rapidly moving epidemic, rapidly-moving pandemic. And any death, any case is tragic.

Hahn made a similar point on CNN’s “State of the Union” to host Dana Bash: “I'm not going to get into who is right and who is wrong,” adding: “We have seen the surge in cases. We must do something to stem the tide.”

WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump sarahcpr SethAbramson This is how harmless COVID-19 really is to those that don't die.

SteveFDA also forced a toxic/carcinogenic chemical plant in our neighborhood to re-open. He doesn’t care about public health or safety. NoEtO

Lying Don should try one of those”totally harmless” kinds.

130,000 dead.

Because he can’t.

Welp, time to turn on notifications for SteveFDA to remind him of his swiftly swipping and sweeping away from answering DanaBashCNN ‘s question

Dana Bash of CNN nailed Hahn on trump's '99%.' She would not let him off the hook. Good for her. Hahn could not wriggle off, but refused to say that trump is wrong. An administrator who doesn't set an exmple for others that evidence matters, you are not doing your job.

Cause there isn’t any

TRUMP IS NOT A DOCTOR NOR A SCIENTIST.

Take the numbers of cases in the US, divide by deaths. What % did you get?

Ahem...and yet Donny J has yet to provide any evidence for any assertions which, his unqualified self, provides.

This is the problem. People aren't taking it seriously, keep spreading it, and blame everyone else for the economy not getting started. That's because their Messiah won't wear a mask or tell the truth about testing or the severity of it.

The cases are multiplying at WarpSpeed

He said the survival rate is 99% which is true! The more testing and positive results is proving survival rate is HIGHER. When are media outlets going to report on the number of NEGATIVE results? You won't because it's proof it's not as deadly as you all keep pushing!

You mean Trump was just talking out his gigantic ass? No way really?

all cowards, all murders, never dare to correct or admit huge mistake they have made. all assholes

Tell that to the families of the 130,000 dead ppl and the hundred of thousands in hospitals. Trump is FOS as usual.

I just don’t understand the need to interview these right wing robots. Why are you wasting time with useless fools like this?

He didn’t say it was wrong either. Coward.

FDA commissioner refuses to defend Trump claim that 99% of Covid-19 cases are 'harmless'The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration on Sunday declined to defend President Donald Trump's unfounded claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are 'totally harmless' and repeatedly refused to say whether Trump's remark is true or false. I wonder why he would refuse to say it’s false... A notion belied by administration scientists who estimate that only a quarter of those infected never show symptoms. This is what the cdc echoed and clinical studies are proving to be true , approx under 1% death rate , not to make light of that, but, the “ science” you guys like to support , says that.
