President Donald Trump expressed fear of getting COVID after his Health and Human Service Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. sneezed near him in the Oval Office.
The president was gathering with his top health officials and Pfizer executives to announce a new deal when the exchange took place.
Kennedy could be heard sneezing as he stood just behind the president as Trump spoke.
“God bless you, Bobby,” the president said turning to look at him over his shoulder him.
“I hope I didn’t catch COVID just there,” Trump added, prompting the round of laughter.
That’s when the president turned to the CEO of Pfizer and suggested he should take the medication used to treat mild to moderate COVID cases.
”Don’t you have Paxlovid?“ Trump asked. ”He’s got Paxlovid. Give me a Paxlovid immediately!"
