President Trump Accuses Biden Admin of Conspiring with Pfizer to Damage Johnson & Johnson Reputation

Former President Donald Trump accused the Biden Administration on Tuesday of pausing the use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine for “political reasons” in an effort to help Pfizer.

“The Biden Administration did a terrible disservice to people throughout the world by allowing the FDA and CDC to call a ‘pause’ in the use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine,” President Trump said in a statement released by the Save America PAC.

“The results of this vaccine have been extraordinary but now it’s reputation will be permanently challenged. The people who have already taken the vaccine will be up in arms.”

Trump claimed the FDA’s decision to grant Pfizer Emergency Use Authorization shortly after the 2020 election was based on their “love for Pfizer”

The 45th President said Pfizer, “didn’t like me very much because I pushed them extremely hard” through his groundbreaking and wildly successful Operation Warp Speed.

“The FDA, especially with long time bureaucrats within, has to be controlled, they should not be able to do such damage for possibly political reasons, or maybe because their friends at Pfizer have suggested it.”

The White House has not released a statement regarding President Trump’s accusation. However, during Tuesday’s press conference with Jeff Zients and Dr. Tony Fauci they stated that the decision to halt the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was based in “science” and was made by the CDC.

6 of the nearly 7 million recipients of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine developed “rare and severe” blood clots. One of the six cases has proved fatal while another remains in critical condition, while four fully recovered. All cases occurred in women from the ages of 18-48.
