FACT CHECK
In a series of tweets, President Donald Trump claimed — without evidence — that the pharma company Pfizer and his own Food and Drug Administration purposely held off on releasing positive interim results about a COVID-19 vaccine candidate until after the election.
Pfizer has said the timing of its announcement was not politically motivated and was dictated only by science.
The president also implied that the FDA had already approved Pfizer’s vaccine. The agency hasn’t commented on the shot at all, let alone authorized it.
Trump made his groundless claims...
