Donald Trump tore into FDA director Stephen Hahn on Monday after Pfizer dropped news that its COVID vaccine had proven to be more than 90 percent effective.
Trump was “convinced the timing — six days after Election Day — proves the ‘medical deep state' deliberately tried to sabotage his electoral prospects by delaying the results.”
The Washington Post reports: “Trump's anger at the FDA raises fresh questions about whether Hahn will hang on to his job until Jan. 20 — when Trump leaves office — in an administration intent on purging officials deemed insufficiently loyal. Trump called Hahn shortly before he tweeted Monday and was “screaming at him” about the Pfizer announcement, in the words of one senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive matters. “
