Donald Trump said on Friday that he believes the novel coronavirus will fade away on its own without a vaccine, but his own experts say this isn’t the case.
While speaking with the press on Friday at the White House, he weighed in on the idea of whether a vaccine was necessary to end the COVID-19 pandemic, as The Washington Post reports.
“I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests: This is going to go away without a vaccine,” Trump said. “It’s going to go away, and we’re not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time.”
Trump has faced criticism for what people see as his lack of robust effort to create a nationwide testing system. This criticism ramped up in recent days after it was revealed that the White House is engaging in dedicated testing after several employees who work for government leaders tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Trump himself is reportedly tested every day.
