Donald Trump has suggested that his administration’s decision to pour money and resources into fast-tracking Covid vaccines saved millions of lives. But no one should be forced to get the shot, the former president argued.
Speaking to Fox News on Saturday night, Trump boasted that he was “tremendously proud” of the role he played in developing safe and effective vaccines to fight Covid – a process that typically requires more than a decade.
“I think if we didn’t come up during the Trump administration with the vaccine, you could have had 100 million people dead, just like you had in 1917,” Trump said, referring to the Spanish flu pandemic.
Although the vaccines are a “tremendous thing,” they should not be forced on people, the former president added.
“I really believe in somebody’s choice, somebody’s freedom,” said Trump. “I’m a big fan of our freedoms, and people have to make that choice for themselves.”
