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
#GOPConvention
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?

#FDA #pharma
.@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
#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.

#GOPConvention
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.

"Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. They keep moving. And, the costs & threats to America & the world keep rising.

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

#Ukraine #Russia #Putin
"American diplomacy matters."

Excerpt from @POTUS @JoeBiden #SOTU address.

#Ukraine #Russia #Putin
"#Putin’s war was premeditated & unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the West & @NATO wouldn’t respond. And, he thought he could divide us here at home.
Putin was wrong. We were ready."

On #FaceTheNation, Trump's #WarpSpeed chief Moncef Slaoui now trying to claim credit for @POTUS @JoeBiden's success w/ #COVID19vaccinations.

Reminder: Trump wanted much lower $$ for #vaccines R&D. Congress went higher with $8.3B/rejected Trump's $2.5B.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…
Another reminder: Trump had no idea #NIH & $MRNA had started on a #COVID19 vaccine in mid-January 2020 based on research funded by the @BarackObama administration.
spglobal.com/marketintellig…

Trump himself claims he first heard of #coronavirus in late January.

#FaceTheNation #FTN
Also, NIH & U.S. companies were long into #COVID19 #vaccines R&D before Moncef Slaoui came on the scene with Operation #WarpSpeed.

Slaoui doing a lot of rewriting of history on #FaceTheNation today.

.@VP @KamalaHarris notes trip to #Georgia was supposed to be about #AmericanRescuePlan. But then, Asian-Americans were attacked/8 people killed.

"And we were reminded yet again that the crises we face are many that the photos we face are many."

"#Racism is real in America."
.@VP @KamalaHarris: For the last year we've had people in positions of incredible power scapegoating Asian-Americans. People with the biggest pulpits spreading this kind of hate.

#Georgia #racism
.@VP @KamalaHarris: A harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us.

The president and I will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will always speak out against violence, hate crimes & discrimination, wherever and whenever it occurs.
