Democrats Aren’t Dismissing Convalescent Plasma Due to Trump

On August 23, 2020, Trump issued an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma for coronavirus patients. This was supported by the FDA, who cited a study that said that it could reduce mortality rates by 35 percent. Several politicians on the left, including House Speaker Elizabeth Warren, were skeptical. Some Trump supporters and right-wing news outlets took to social media to defend the president, arguing that the left is denying evidence because they don’t like Trump.
