Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump has denied information about pressure on the developers of the coronavirus vaccine. He is quoted by Reuters.
“I don’t do this for any political reasons. I just want to get the vaccine as soon as possible, ”said the US leader. So Trump responded to rumors that he was allegedly putting pressure on the developers of the COVID-19 vaccine, hoping to have time to release the drug by the November elections.
The fact that specialists in the United States are afraid of the president's onslaught was reported in The New York Times in early August, citing sources in the White House. Government experts fear Trump could pressure the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop a cure as soon as possible. He supposedly needs it to win the election: the president wants to make the vaccine a surprise to voters.
According to the latest data, there are 6.5 million people infected with coronavirus in the United States. 194.4 thousand people died.
