Trump said that the vaccines his administration brought to market saved a lot of lives and that his supporters should be proud of the vaccines and take credit for them:
But look, we did something that was historic. We saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We, together, all of us. Not me, we got three vaccines done and tremendous therapeutics…that have saved a lot of lives. We got a vaccine done in less than 9 months… Because of that vaccine, millions and millions of people – I think this would have been the spanish flu of 1917 where up to 100 million people died. This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now.
Take credit for it… What we’ve done is historic. Don’t let them take it away. Don’t take it away from ourselves. You’re playing right into their hands when you sort of like ‘oh the vaccine’. If you don’t want to take it you shouldn’t be forced to take it. No mandates. But take credit because we saved tens of millions of lives. Take credit. Don’t let them take that away from you.
Trump also made news telling the crowd that he’s already gotten his booster shot. Watch the video for more…
