After Jha said he didn\u2019t know, Jean-Pierre interjected to say it\u2019s not important.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, I don&#8217;t think that that matters, right?

These are treatments that are going to keep you safe. And I think that&#8217;s what matters here, is making sure that we continue to do the work.
