Fox News Rundown Extra: Sec. Azar Says “Red Tape” Will Not Slow The Covid Fight
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and the Trump Administration say they will not let ‘red tape’ slow their effort combat the coronavirus.
That is one of the reasons why Sec. Azar and the White House have been defending their recent emergency authorization of convalescent plasma to treat Covid-19.
Earlier in the week, the HHS Secretary joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the effectiveness of using the blood of recovered coronavirus patients in those battling the virus and some of the controversies surrounding the authorization of that treatment.
Sec. Azar stood by its effectiveness and denied claims the White House pressured the FDA and other health officials to prematurely okay the use of plasma.
Our interview with the key White House Coronavirus Task Force member was long and we could not include much of it in our original segment.
On the Fox News Rundown you will hear more from HHS Sec. Alex Azar and hear his take on the perception held by some that America is not handling this virus as well as other countries in the world.
