“During my administration, everybody wanted the vaccine,” Trump said in a phone interview with Sean Hannity. “There was nobody saying ‘oh, gee, I don’t want to take it.’ Now they say that and that’s because they don’t trust the Biden administration. I can think of no other reason.”

He added, “When I was there, everybody wanted it.”

After going off on a tangent about how successful the U.S. military was under his watch, Trump returned to his point by saying: “We had great leaders, great generals and they did a fantastic job of the distribution of the vaccine. But there were no people — very few people — I heard of no people that didn’t want to take it.”
