Trump Attacks Big Pharma with Conspiratorial Language

“In his first campaign for president, Donald Trump tapped into bipartisan anger over high drug prices to bash pharmaceutical companies. In his latest run, Trump’s echoing the extreme elements of his party to suggest the industry’s products may be hurting Americans, particularly children,” Axios reports.

“The GOP frontrunner’s airing of unfounded, innuendo-filled claims about the pharmaceutical industry could undermine public health. And it reflects how deeply mistrust of health institutions and anti-science rhetoric have become embedded within a sizable faction of the Republican party following the pandemic.”
