Trump said the entire American population will get Covid-19 early next year

“Every month we will have hundreds of millions of doses (Covid-19 vaccine) and we hope to have enough Covid-19 vaccine for the entire American population by April next year. I think the distribution is even. It will be faster than most of people think, “President Trump told reporters at the White House on Sept. 18.

This is one of a series of statements made by Trump about the Covid-19 vaccine. Before that, he said, the United States government could begin distributing this vaccine in mid-October.

However, experts are skeptical of these statements by the owner of the White House, even considering this as the way that Trump used to “score” with voters before the November presidential election.

“The United States has never vaccinated more than 160 million people a year in the United States. Right now we need to vaccinate 330 million people, two doses per person, which means 660 million vaccines are not yet possible.” it demonstrates the level of safety and efficacy, not to mention the transportation and storage requirements, “said Jonathan Reiner, professor at George Washington University.

“Vaccinating the entire population before April 2021 requires more than 4 million people to be vaccinated every day. I don’t think we can do it that quickly,” added the professor.

Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor College of Pharmacy said: “We will only know about the safety and efficacy of vaccines at least by the end of the year. It depends on many factors.”

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has also repeatedly attacked President Trump’s statements about the Covid-19 vaccine. “I believe in science. I believe in vaccines. But I don’t believe in Donald Trump.”

The United States is currently the country most affected by Covid-19 with almost 7 million people infected, around 200,000 dead. Trump’s re-election chances have also been affected by criticism of his administration for its response to the pandemic.
