One of the major achievements of Trump as president was the quick support for the development and roll out of Covid-19 vaccines. In an interview with Owens, Trump said he came up with a vaccine in less than nine months, when it was supposed to take five to 12 years. Critics say that he hasn't done enough to convince his supporters to get the vaccine themselves, because he didn't reveal until months after he left office that he'd been vaccine and waffled publicly on whether he'd get a booster shot. Republicans and Trump supporters are the least likely groups to get jabbed.
