President Donald Trump called on pharmaceutical companies to 'justify the success' of their COVID-19 drugs, days after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limited vaccine approval to individuals at higher risk of severe illness. Trump stated that he has been shown 'extraordinary' information from Pfizer and others that is not public.
The President's comments, made on Truth Social, indicate renewed political pressure on drugmakers regarding their COVID-19 products. He urged companies to be more transparent about their results to 'clear up this MESS,' referencing ongoing debates and scrutiny.
This public statement from the President could lead to increased demands for data and transparency from pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer. It highlights an ongoing external risk environment for the company's COVID-19 portfolio and its public perception.
