Covid, Trump defends vaccine: "It's safe, those who do it don't die"

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, DECEMBER 23 - "Vaccines work. Those who get seriously ill and end up in hospital are the unvaccinated. But it's their choice. Those who get vaccinated are protected. Lagente does not die when they get vaccinated" against Covid- 19.

This was stated by former US president Donald Trump in an interview with conservative journalist Candance Owens, who tried to downplay the effectiveness of vaccines.

    Trump - booed in recent days for saying he had the third dose - then takes credit for the speed with which the vaccines were created: "Three in less than nine months, when it would have taken 12 years".
