Trump Claims Unnamed Drug Revived 'Dead' Patients; Experts Dismiss Claim
President Donald Trump made an extraordinary and unsubstantiated claim during a White House event promoting the Right to Try program. He stated that an unnamed experimental drug has been used on patients who were near death, with some reportedly recovering from a state of clinical fatality.
"We’ve taken people that were dead... given the last rites... and started them on this drug. And the person became better." — President Donald Trump
No specific drug, patient, hospital, or pharmaceutical company was identified during the event to support the claim.
Medical experts have responded with skepticism, noting that no known drug can reverse biological death. They emphasize that the claim lacks any independent, verifiable evidence and conflicts with established medical understanding of mortality and resuscitation.
