Trump: If wasn’t for my efforts, 100 million people would have died of coronavirus by now.
The US president once again claimed that if it were not for his government’s efforts to speed up the production of the Covid 19 vaccine, 100 million people would have died of coronary heart disease by now.
Former United States President Donald Trump has estimated that 100 million people would have died without his administration’s efforts to speed up the production of the Covid-19 vaccine, citing the state of the corona outbreak in the United States.
According to Yahoo News, Trump reiterated in an interview with Fox News last night that his administration’s “Warp Speed” initiative to accelerate the production of the Corona vaccine in the United States had not taken place. The death toll from the outbreak of the Corona epidemic is similar to the catastrophe of more than a century ago during the outbreak of the Spanish flu pandemic.
“I think if we had not provided the vaccine during the Trump administration, we could have killed 100 million people like we had in 1917,” he said. Consider the Spanish flu, 100 million people, up to about 100 million. “I think we are in that situation.”
Estimates of the death toll from the Spanish flu epidemic, which spread around the world between 1918 and 1919, vary, according to published reports, but some experts put the death toll at between 50 and 100 million worldwide. According to Johns Hopkins University, the global corona-related death toll is about 4.3 worldwide, of which about 616,000 are in the United States.
Despite the fact that more than 166 million people, or half of the US population, have been fully vaccinated in the past two days, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a coronavirus mutation, including the highly contagious Delta strain Has led to a crisis across the United States, and there has been renewed talk of re-establishing coronary restrictions in the United States and injecting a third dose of the vaccine into the American people.
Coronavirus delta cases across the United States averaged 100,000 a day, up from 11,000 two months ago, US media reported on Saturday. It was during the day and the high rate of corona outbreaks in the United States, while statistics show that more than 70% of the American population has been vaccinated so far.
In an interview with Trump, he said he was a “big fan” of vaccines in the United States, but supported those who did not want to be vaccinated.
