White House trade adviser Peter Navarro reportedly blew up at Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials during a meeting last Monday for not producing a drug for COVID-19 quickly enough for President Donald Trump.
Trump’s “therapeutics” - convalescent plasma - is not a breakthrough per scientists and physicians = it is far from breakthrough!
I’d believe the scientist and physicians over Trump’s quack adviser!

Carlos del Rio, executive associate dean of the Emory School of Medicine, said that it was an exaggeration to call plasma a “breakthrough.”
The problem is, the President, in my mind, has lost total credibility because of what he’s done with hydroxychloroquine. He’s touted so many things that don’t work,” del Rio said. “The reality is what we have today to treat covid is extremely limited.”
It seems Navarro is already on drugs
Snake Oil: It’s for What Ails Ya.
Wingers have for years prattled on about vaccines causing all manner of problems for people years after they’ve been administered. Looks like Trump will make their fevered dreams come true once he pushes a COVID vaccine to market in about 1/10th the time a properly studied medicine should be approved.
Go sell crazy somewhere else, you fascist asshole!
My God I hope there are consequences to crap like this.
Shirley, you jest…
Seriously??? This mans salary is a prime example of waste, fraud and abuse.
Sycophant.
Of course political expediency should be the prime mover for handling a deadly pandemic.
What other reason could there be?
Navarro, Trump and the rest aren’t into science, they are into miracles on a schedule.
I said the other day there are things you can safely do to speed up development in a bureaucracy, but calling names and telling the people doing the work that they aren’t working fast enough sounds more like Hitler’s final days in the bunker than actually speeding up a development schedule.
Navarro and Trump are running scared.
Apparently Navarro didn’t get a Harumph out of the FDA… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt3GBlVjUd0
I am referring to Peter Navarro.
And don’t call me Shirley.
you need to get on Trump Time
Sorry, but we are trying to get off of Trump Time this November.
Where “Trump Time” is defined as “in time to help my desperate bid to stay out of the pokey.”
Do you mean go golfing and spend 16 hours watching Fox and tweeting?
This is not good news. Not good at all.
