Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration Dr. Stephen Hahn declined to defend President Donald Trump's unfounded claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are "totally harmless" and repeatedly refused to say whether Trump's remark is true or false. #CNN #News
This guy should resign. Disgraceful. He’s meant to be a doctor.
@Flak Jacket and the word honest is totally not applicable to him, just from how he answered.
I think he is beating around the bush because if he does come out with direct true answers his job will end.
He may feel that he being in this position he can do more than the next guy… His replacement. Or he is drunk on power… knows how serious covid-19
And doesn’t want to loose his position. So.. It’s, a beat around the bush interview.
just because he graduated med school doesn’t mean he had A’s..
Where have you been for the last four years? When has a Trump appointee ever resigned his position in in disgrace? Never. Of course they ALL should have (and still should), but won’t and will never.
Would you rather see a guy go silent on Trump’s bullshit or someone who reiterates it for the whole country with a medical title before his name? These are the only two options right now till November. If he’d have called bullshit on Trump on CNN he’d be out of his job already and the next guy selected by Trump himself is ready to back up his madness to the max with no remorse, which would surely result in more harm done to millions of people. This guy is literally ruining his career in order to keep people safe. All this poor bastard can do right now is what Birx and Fauci were doing: stand your ground, keep Trump’s people away from your position and signal with your eyes that you’ve been taken hostage.
When the response begins with, “So …” a deflection is sure to follow.
Thanks Kanye, for taking black votes away from Biden and giving Trump 4 more years. Bless your heart.

@arne ottosson you mean, “annoyingly so much distraction by Mcenemyoftheststate”?
@Critical Thinking you mean OAN or britebart, Faux entertainment, or Putin’s trolls,?
Not necessarily, people just use “So” to give themselves a second to collect their thoughts. It doesn’t always mean that they are constructing a lie or organising the facts they want to omit. Much of the time they are just working out what they want to say and how to say it in order to please their audience. Alternatively they are just trying to remember a detail. I personally find it extremely jarring and a sign of an uncharismatic or clumsy speaker. But at the same time, I don’t find it to be especially indicative of deception.
Do these ppl EVER ANSWER a direct question? EVER??!
Women got more balls then men in this presidency.
trump says 99% of coronavirus is harmless
recovery rate of coronavirus is 99.75%..there I answered it for ya..he lied
@ABC DEFG You are the ridiculous one, you are like a zombie..lol..
You want to know how someone lies. Ask a question and get one back in return. He should of been a politician. This FDA official is a disgrace.
@Jeff Albillar you are obviously not paying attention, either that or you got TDS so bad you can’t see reality anymore. Trump has done more good for the American people than the last 4 presidents combined. Hell he has done more for minorities than Obama ever did, over his entire political career. He could have done more if the dems didn’t fight him or try to take him down at every opportunity.
So this guy is actually a DR in the FDA? Doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum u are, this is shameful af.

The reporter is trying her best to get a truthful answer. Dr. Hahn is being as truthful as he can be without being fired on the spot, because he knows his replacement won’t be a scientist, but rather a sycophant.
Whoever said ” white men can’t dance ” apparently never watched this guy answer questions !!😶✌️
He was doing the side step to perfection.
Lol
@Jeff Albillar He sure the hell was.
👏🏼🙌🏼
He’s all most as good as Kellyanne Conway at dodging answering questions when they have to confirm Trump is lying!
Just a simple yes or no please. “Yeah, I’m not going to be able to do that, nah”.
Sure thing, you see the thing a word like “yes” is that, and I think we see this a lot, is that it has a lot meaning, and I think that’s what’s great about words. You know, we can talk all day about yes or no, no or yes, but in reality, there’s a lot to think about when we make such distinctions. Now more than ever words have real power, and this is something we want to communicate to the American people. It’s alright to be for yes or for no. It’s alright to make such a crucial decision, and just follow the best advice, because yes and no matter.
You can tell he’s afraid of losing his job.

The Dr is more interested in keeping his job than protecting American’s lives ,,

Wouldn’t you in this day and age..lol
@Amanda Williams bingo… thats what it is..we arent in the generations of loving gram and gramp..or uncle buck whos got a compromised immune system…screw them all we are in a fast pace life that will never be like the days of old…its only gonna get worse..feel lucky if u lived at a time were family mattered….

CNN is more concerned about riatings than anything else America included …they go from Corona to BLM to Statues and around again pushing hate and negativity and racism and all day coverage of school shootings and sell everyones pain as the news LOL BULLSHIT watching the ratings and whatever scares you idiots enough to stay face into your screens they keep pushing …!!!! WAKE UPPPPPP !!!!!!!
This doctor needs to grow a spine because that could save a life as well js 🙄
👌
Kinda interesting when you know somebody’s job depends on what your answer is…
Well doctor, I’d like a second opinion.
If he follows the Orange man’s orders, and not answer, he’ll gift him with a Rolex watch. 😆
Would love to have him as a friend , can def keep a secret and not spill the beans no matter what, people like him you can trust with a secret everyone else be so quick to open their mouths
That’s a very confusingly optimistic way of looking at this.
Your right. Most men now can’t hold a secret only a few can.
It’s so weird to see WH staff turn into spineless creatures.
They have to sign NDA’s etc, that tell them they can’t speak ill of Trump. That’s how thin skinned Trump is, he makes them sign contracts to make them pretend like he’s good.
It’s not weird that’s what they do all the time, including the chickenshit Republican senators!
Mr Rivera
Those don’t start until November!
For 3 years, it’s been the norm like Trump’s lies. G.O.P. have the Republicans by the 🥎.
Dientera – The Raging Gentleman any proof of that?
Q: The American people want to know whether you are a real doctor?
A: It depends on the circumstance, but in general, it all depends on the weather.
oh god the laugh that just left me…thank you stranger
Yes it’s all up to the weather we need snowmobiles in Florida to catch the alligators high jacking the planes
Loool! You nailed it.
Nice 😂
😆😆😆😆
How afraid this man is to lose his job. Complete coward.
https://youtu.be/I5KJRXDPPjo
Oh man he should get a raise that was great skills at dodging bullets
Neo has nothing on this doctor.

It’s sad when doctors can’t tell the American taxpayers the truth to save their lives. Politics over science.
to save their lives
If a Dr tells the truth? If they do they lose their licence to practise. Trump is fake.
How many genders are there? Yeah the left lost its claim on science long ago.
In a pandemic, accurate clear messaging from government is vital. Trump has failed and Dr Hahn has failed by not clearly speaking against the misinformation of Trump.
by definition, it is not a pandemic because the death rate is so low.
Gothcha.
@trublu97 whose definition is that, crackpot? It’s been declared a pandemic by the CDC, the WHO, and basically every health service in the world. Your definition doesn’t matter, it’s the definitions of experts that matter. Besides, your “definition” is fucking stupid. Imagine a virus that doesn’t kill people, but does sterilize them. If that were running rampant through society, we’d call that a fucking pandemic too. Death is not the only possible bad outcome. Covid19 causes horrible organ damage in many people who survive it; are you saying that doesn’t matter?
Look at the Stats: https://coronavirusstatistics.org/
US Cases: 1880130
US deaths: 129906
Percent of Deaths : 129906/1880130 = 0.069 (6.9%)
Meaning at least 92% of people recovered.

By refusing to answer a direct question, Stephen Hahn is confirming two things: 1) He is afraid he will lose his job by telling the truth; and 2) The truth is that Trump’s statement was another off the cuff LIE.
If it’s a clear truth, he will be saying of course its a fact! Let me show you this data, that data and shut CNN down on national TV. And it’s a bragging point for Trump. Why so low key. 99% is an amazing number IF it’s a truth
If you want to lern how to dance around direct questions just watch a politiclan
He’s a political appointee, he is not a professional politician.
Don’t trust anyone who continually answers questions with, SO. They’ve been grilled so as to do everything BUT answer the question.
Good lord, its hard to watch him trying to answer. How can he look at himself in the mirror?
He has blood on his hands now.
He doesn’t need a mirror.
His face is between Trump’s butt cheeks.
Because when people like him look in the mirror they see Trump so they stop looking in it.

She is prepped to the eyeballs, he’s dodging like a maniac! Amazed she isnt laughing out loud at every answer. Very professional.
