Former president Donald Trump said Wednesday that
coronavirus vaccines are effective and that more Americans should get the shot, but that mandates are unnecessary because “this thing is eventually going to go away.”
“The vaccines do work,” he said on the “John Fredericks Show,” a conservative talk radio program. “And they are effective. So here’s my thing: I think I saved millions and millions of lives around the world. We would have had another Spanish flu.”
“And now countries are using our vaccines, and it’s tremendous,” Trump added. “It’s tremendously successful.”
