.@SteveFDA: "I was trying to do what I do with patients, because patients often understand things in absolute terms vs relative terms. And I should've been more careful, there's no question about it. ... I frankly did not do a good job of explaining that." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Commissioner @SteveFDA on @CBSThisMorning today: "The Mayo Clinic convalescent plasma program has shown that there are promising efficacy data as well as safety associated with plasma." Professionals & scientists at FDA independently made this decision with his support, he said.

FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn is defending his administration, saying politics did not play a role in the decision to grant emergency authorization of a possible #coronavirus treatment. Only on @CBSThisMorning, @SteveFDA joins us to discuss more on the decision.

I have been criticized for remarks I made Sunday night about the benefits of convalescent plasma. The criticism is entirely justified. What I should have said better is that the data show a relative risk reduction not an absolute risk reduction.

Media coverage of FDA’s decision to issue emergency authorization for convalescent plasma has questioned whether this was a politically motivated decision. The decision was made by FDA career scientists based on data submitted a few weeks ago.

To clarify, the @MayoClinic data compared those given convalescent plasma with a high level of antibodies from COVID to those given plasma with low levels. So 35% more patients survived by getting the higher antibodies convalescent plasma.

Today, Trump said the FDA was part of the “deep state” and was stalling “therapeutics” to sabotage his campaign. He even tagged the FDA commissioner in his tweet. Tomorrow, the FDA commissioner will join Trump at a press conference to announce a “therapeutic breakthrough.”
Kayleigh McEnany 45 Archived@PressSec45

News conference with President @realDonaldTrump at 6 pm tomorrow concerning a major therapeutic breakthrough on the China Virus. Secretary Azar and Dr. Hahn will be in attendance.
