Outgoing United States President Donald Trump said on Saturday that any other administration would have taken five years to produce a Covid-19 vaccine, while his administration ensured an “ excellent and safe vaccine well ahead of schedule. ” ‘. “Many lives to save, but we are ready when they are. Stop playing politics! “he tweeted amid the current vaccine showdown with New York.
On Friday, Trump said the Covid-19 vaccine will be available in April for the entire country, but not for New York.
“Starting in April, the vaccine will be available to the entire general population with the exception of places like New York State, where, for political reasons, the governor decided to say, and I don’t think it’s good from the point of view political, but he wants to take his time with the vaccine, ”Trump said. “We will not deliver it to New York until we have clearance to do so, and that pains me to say. This is an amazing and very successful vaccine, 90% and more. But then the Governor, Governor Cuomo will have to let us know what he’s ready for that. “
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had previously questioned Trump’s plan to accelerate the vaccine plan. He had said that he would establish his own panel to approve the Covid-19 vaccine.
“I LOVE NEW YORK! As you all know, the Trump Administration has produced a great and safe VACCINE long ahead of schedule. Another Administration would have taken five years. The problem is, @NYGovCuomo said it will delay its use, and other states WANT IT NOW. We cannot waste time and we can only give to those states that will use the vaccine immediately. Hence the delay in New York. Many lives to save, but we are prepared when they are. Stop playing politics! ” Trump tweeted.
