Former President Donald Trump blamed Democrats in a Fox News interview for the hesitancy of some Americans to get Covid-19 vaccines.
Said Trump: “If you remember, when I was president, there were literally lines of people wanting to take it. Now, you have a different situation, and it’s very bad.”
He added: “Of course, they famously said, if Trump came up with it, I’ll never take it. They disparaged the vaccine, and now they wonder why people aren’t wanting to take it? It’s a disgrace.”
