The fact #GOPConvention can't find a real patient to talk about #RightToTry says a lot about that 2018 law.

Why is GOP relying on someone who has repeatedly told the same false/misleading story? The condition she claims she has is not life-threatening. The drug is #FDA-approved.

Reminder: Natalie Harp has repeatedly told a false #RightToTry story.
Condition she claims she has - essential thrombocytosis - isn't life-threatening & doesn't qualify for #RTT.
She also said used #FDA-approved immunotherapy off-label, a common practice, not RTT

Why is #GOPConvention using someone who tells a false/misleading story to promote #RightToTry?

Apparently, they don't have any real #RTT patients to share their experiences.

So if the Republican Party can't find one single legitimate #RightToTry patient to speak at its major once-in-four-years #GOPConvention & again have to rely on someone who has shopped around a false/misleading story, why did they push so hard to get #RTT enacted?

#COVID19 #GOPConvention

.@LSUHS's G.E. Ghali now promoting #COVID19 #vaccines at #GOPConvention as coming "very shortly."

He notes he had received both #remdesivir & #convalescentplasma as a patient.

.@LSUHS's G.E. Ghali praises Trump as though he made #remdesivir.

The drug was developed long before Trump.

#GOPConvention shows clip of Pence & @SecAzar at a #masks factory not wearing ... masks.

Reminder: That taxpayer-funded equipment came from ... U.S. taxpayers.

#GOPConvention

Herschel Walker: "People don’t like [Trump's] style, the way he knocks down obstacles that get in the way of his goals. People on opposing teams didn’t like it when I ran right over them either. But that’s how you get the job done."

Ran right over them ...

#GOPConvention

In retelling her false/misleading #RightToTry story, Natalie Harp describes herself as a "forgotten American."

Again, the condition Harp claims she has doesn't qualify for #RTT. The #FDA-approved immunotherapy she used off-label also doesn't qualify.

#GOPConvention

Someone needs to tell Natalie Harp that millions in the U.S. have been infected with #COVID19.

5.74 million reported infected in the U.S.

177,300 are dead.

And a reminder: Natalie Harp, who has repeatedly told a false/misleading story about #RightToTry, works for the Trump campaign.

So, when she describes herself as a "forgotten American ..."

#GOPConvention

Wow, so we're actually getting a personal injury attorney commercial as part of the #GOPConvention ...

Now Donald Trump Jr. is doing one of those infomercials at the #GOPConvention ... like those get rich quick schemes.
