President Donald Trump called on drug companies to "justify their success" in combatting the COVID-19 virus, demanding the immediate release of data on the matter while the CDC is "being ripped apart over this question."
Trump's remarks in a Sept. 1 post on Truth Social follow his firing last week of CDC director Susan Monarez just one month into her tenure after a disagreement she had over vaccine policy with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic. Jim O'Neill, a top deputy of Kennedy, was later named acting CDC director.
