President Trump acknowledges that Republicans hate the COVID vaccine

WATCH: President Trump acknowledges that Republicans hate the COVID vaccine, and that he is open to admitting the shots were damaging, but is waiting for long term studies to be released in 2025.

“I think they're doing studies on the vaccines that we're gonna find out. And it'll come out one way or the other. But I really had a mandate to get vaccines done. And I got 'em done very quickly in record time. The Democrats love it. You know, the Democrats love it and the Republicans don't. It’s very interesting.”

In this stellar interview with Full Measure host Sharyl Attkisson, who bravely pointed out that not only do the shots NOT “prevent infection, illness, or transmission” but have “very potentially serious side effects,” President Trump said he thought he did a great job handling the pandemic.

“The vaccines. They love it. I have a friend of mine who said to me, ‘why don't you talk about the vaccine, what you did with the vaxx.’ He’s a Democrat, but I'm sure he voted for me. He said, ‘what you did was the most incredible thing that any president has ever done. You've saved hundreds of millions of lives all over the world.’ And this was just recently very smart guy. He said, ‘I don't understand why you don't talk about it.’ And I don't talk about it. But if you go to Pfizer, if you go to some of these companies, they have charts and they have all sorts of statistics. And I say, ‘why don't you release those statistics? Let people know.’ But I don't talk about it. I can say this, the Democrats would love to claim it. The Republicans don't want to claim it. But it'll be determined, I'd say over the next 12 months. I say this in terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with Covid. I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump. And they had a much easier time because when it came in here, nobody knew what it was. It came from the Wuhan labs, which I always said. But nobody really knew what it was, where it came from. Nothing. They knew nothing.”

Sharyl is an example of the few, ethical, smart, and dedicated journalists left on the national stage, who put the truth over access and fame.

Bravo on this and all your future interviews and shows!
