Former coronavirus testing czar urges Trump to encourage vaccinations

“I think it’s very important for former President Trump as well as the vice president, to actively encourage all the followers to get the vaccine,” Adm. Brett Giroir told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead,” when asked whether Trump should be urging his supporters to get the vaccine in light of a recent CNN poll showing that 46% of Republicans indicated that they won’t try to get a vaccine.

“This is something that the Trump administration developed under its time,” Giroir said. “And I think all of the above, including the former President speaking out, would be very important.”
