The commissioner of the FDA refused to comment on the accuracy of Trump's claim that 99% of the coronavirus cases are 'harmless.'

When pressed multiple times during Sunday morning news shows, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn refused to comment on the accuracy of President Donald Trump's claim that 99% of the coronavirus cases are"harmless".

“There were no test for a new virus, but now we have tested almost 40 million people,” Trump said. “By so doing, we show cases, 99% of which are totally harmless, results that no other country can show because no other country has testing that we have, not in terms of the numbers or in terms of the quality.”

He knows it’s untrue, he doesn’t want to have deal with the Whitehouse headache if he refutes it.

The real President and First Lady and the Real Bruno Mars. No imitation for the real thing.

Trump says so many lies that it is impossible to support. However the commissioner knows that if he says Trump is full of it, he will be fired just like all the other ones that didn't bow down to Trump. Then they wonder why people have questions about any cure.

He’s full of Shit!!!

Nawwww. He would say if it was so.

Another coward

FDA Cowards!

The man is an imbecile.

THis is one area potus and I are not on the same page. He doesnt seem to take virus serious and he doesnt listen to DOCTORS and SCIENTISTS. Bad.

Why are these people so afraid of our dear leader?

Trump doesn't do well with math. There have been 36.3 million tests so far of which 3.3 million (9 percent) have been positive.....that's not 99% harmless.

Trump is the Christian West's only existing barrier against the three globalist forces: Islam; Russia/China; Bilderberger (Soros,Rockefeller,etc.) If Trump doesn't win in November, the world will experience a crisis similar to the barbarian invasions of Rome. The end of an era.

How can a leader say 99% of these cases are harmless when America alone has already had 129,576 deaths Granted when doing a rough estimate that total death count equals 4% of cases but that’s only in America and these numbers are rough af estimate Thems still lies trump

In a world of lies and liars, Trump's doing an honest work of the art! What's the count now?

It is no longer that relevant to compare testing rates as a lot of countries do not have to test large numbers anymore due to very low case numbers..

3D CHARACTER FOR GAME i will create 3D model of anything you want like characters and objects with my unique style Start from $30, depends on how complex the model is the price might be higher. *message first*

Yeah, he flat out supported a reckless politician over his Hippocratic Oath! He should lose his medical degree!

Cowards

Refused to comment because he's 99% sure if he did comment he would lose his job. I'm 100% sure his credibility is 0%.

even if what the president said was remotely true, if somebody gave me 100 m&m and told me one of them was poisoned, I would not eat one m&m.

One thing we notice is NONE OF THE PEOPLE IN HIS TEAM have the right to express themselves in order to do their jobs. If this isn’t Dictatorship, idk what is but hey not everyone with the right to vote is American. Some are confederates

SteveFDA is a coward.

Everyone is welcome to do the math. Take the current age distribution of new cases time and use current mortality numbers. This IS something new, as the younger folks without symptoms would not have been tested before.

Sad...and we wonder why the free world has Covid-19 on the ropes and we don’t have a National Plan. We haven’t begun to get a handle on it....

Stephen Hahn is a thorough disgrace and spineless. He should be utterly ashamed.

Tired of all these cowards. They care more about their salaries then people they represent.

All you fearmongers have 2 weeks left. COVID is about to be downgraded from epidemic status due to its low death rate. After then..all emergency orders by any government body will be invalid and unenforceable. No more forcing people to wear the face panties. What will you do?

'I'm not going to get into numbers….'

Which confirms it was a lie, as usual. CDCDirector

chicken

Wonder if realDonaldTrump is censoring them too. He wants to now control the information because even he thinks it’s a hoax. Classic dictator move.

Facts

Disservice to Americans.

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.
