US President Donald Trump sparked backlash and fierce criticism on social media after making a startling statement during a White House press conference about people who were presumed to have "died" from a new drug being brought back to life.
Trump said, "We were able to bring back our dead people, priests gave final religious blessings and children were crying, thinking someone was completely gone, but when we gave them this drug, that person immediately got better. It's truly miraculous." He made this remarkable claim.
It is believed that the statement was made in reference to the Right to Try Act, which allows seriously ill patients to try experimental and risky treatments.
Critics argue that Trump is dramatically exaggerating the cases of seriously ill patients recovering, and they point out that there is no solid medical evidence supporting the existence of such a miraculous drug that can resurrect the dead.
Trump's statement quickly became famous on internet websites, and most people sarcastically criticized it as resembling a plot from a Hollywood zombie movie. Some also questioned whether Trump's use of the word "died" actually meant a state where the heart has stopped beating and there is no longer any breath.
