Remarks by President Trump in Announcement on Remdesivir.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much. And welcome to Dan O’Day, CEO of Gilead. You know what that is because it’s been in the news and the company has been in the news, and it’s a great American company that’s done incredible work on HIV and hepatitis C. And I hear that — that’s what’s happening with hepatitis is the great — a great medical story. Really, a great medical story. I’ve been hearing about that. It’s fantastic, Dan.

I’m pleased to announce that Gilead now has an EUA from the FDA for remdesivir. And you know what that is because that’s been the hot thing also in the papers and in the media for the last little while. An important treatment for hospitalized coronavirus patients. And it’s something — I spoke with Dr. Hahn and Dr. Fauci; I spoke with Deborah about it. And it’s — it’s really a very promising situation.

We’ve been doing work with the teams at the FDA, NIH, and Gilead for spearheading this public-private partnership to make this happen very quickly.

So, today, we’re going to be — and I’m going to let Dan do it — but we’re going to let Dan make a statement as to what the company is doing, making a contribution to, really, people that are not doing well, people that are sick, people that have this horrible plague that’s set into our country and that we’re getting rid of. And we’re going to be — we’re going to be having some really incredible results.

We have very promising studies coming out on the vaccines. We have promising studies coming out on therapeutics. And the first one is from Dan and Gilead. And I’d like to maybe have you say a few words, if you would, Dan, as to, number one, about remdesivir, to start off with, and also the contribution being made by your company. And we very much appreciate it.

Trump is trying to recover some credibility:

President Donald Trump vowed to end “every last COVID mandate” in the country while speaking at a Selma, North Carolina rally Saturday night.

Trump, asserting that Republicans will retake Congress in November, stated: “One of the first things that we will do with our new Republican majorities is to end every last COVID mandate. And we will pass a bill making it illegal for any employer to interfere in personal health decisions or to fire employees for not having the vaccine.”

The crowd roared in response, signaling its approval.


I don't know if it will work though. Everyone remembers Trump being very pro-vaxx even as it was failing to slow transmission and was clearly killing people.

Yeah, he was out of his depth here, and trusted the wrong people. A bloodless assassination.
