Trump Challenges Pharma: Prove Your Covid Mojo Now!
On a Monday that surely made the CDCâs Zoom meetings extra dramatic, President Trump jumped on Truth Social to demand that pharma companies publicly prove their Covid-19 products actually work. With the CDC 'being ripped apart,' according to Trumpâs high-stakes decree, his post feels like a reality TV-style call-out to Pfizer, Moderna, and friends. The irony of the former president policing pharmaceutical science via a platform known mostly for unverified hot takes is peak 2024. Meanwhile, bureaucrats and scientists must now dodge social media subpoenas and golden-era misinformation ghostbusters while clutching their vaccine studies like precious spreadsheets.

When you tell billion-dollar pharma firms to 'prove it' on a Twitter knockoff, you know science just hit peak politicization chaos. CDC's drama gets a Trump cameo for free, starring tagline: 'Big Pharma, youâre on the hot seat!'
Nothing says public health like demanding proof of vaccine efficacy on a platform used mostly to fuel conspiracy theories. Trump's Truth Social just gave the CDC a villain origin story we can't unsee.
Calling out pharmaceutical companies on Truth Social feels like asking a gourmet chef for proof of flavor by sniffing at a Steam-powered train. Spoiler: Neither might smell great, but both are decidedly complex.
