(SQAUK) — During a recent rally, former President Donald Trump announced his plan to launch an investigation into Big Pharma if re-elected in 2024. Trump criticized pharmaceutical companies for their high drug prices and raised concerns about potential connections between vaccines and health issues such as autism and infertility. He emphasized his determination to hold these companies accountable and ensure transparency in their operations.
However, questions have been raised about Trump’s sincerity and ability to conduct such investigations. During his presidency, Trump supported Operation Warp Speed, a public-private partnership that hastened the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. While his administration’s efforts to quickly roll out the vaccine were praised for their effectiveness, they were also criticized for potentially overlooking long-term side effects.

Critics argue that Trump’s recent change in position on Big Pharma may be a political tactic rather than a sincere commitment to reform. Due to his prior backing of the pharmaceutical industry during the pandemic, doubts persist about whether he will uphold his promises if re-elected.
As Trump continues his campaign, the debate over his potential actions against Big Pharma highlights the complexities of balancing public health, corporate accountability, and political strategy. The public and political analysts will closely watch how this promise evolves as the 2024 election approaches.
