Former President Donald Trump estimated up to 100 million people would have died from COVID-19 without his administration's efforts to spur the development of vaccines.
If not for Operation Warp Speed, which was the name of the Trump administrationâs initiative to develop vaccines quickly to protect the public from the coronavirus, Trump said the health crisis death toll would be similar to that of the Spanish Flu pandemic more than a century ago.
"I think if we didnât come up during the Trump administration with a vaccine you could have 100 million people dead just like you had in 1917. You take the Spanish Flu, 100 million people â up to 100 million people died. I think weâd be in that territory," the former president said in an interview with Fox News host Dan Bongino that aired Saturday night.

Can’t say I agree with Trump on this.
He is starting to sound as dementiaed as Xio Xiden, aka sloJoe Biden. His timidity prevented the truth qabiout HCQ and Ivermectin from saving thousands.
Thank you President Trump! Can’t wait for 2024!
Democrats claim this is false because Covid isn’t dangerous in 3..2..
I think the British Conservative government acted first.
The US government followed the British lead.
My estimate is 10 million lives will ultimately be saved due to UK & US speed-up efforts.
If you’re going to take credit, might as well go big, even if it is BS. Trump understands messaging, unlike the rest of the Party. The public is stupid and will believe almost anything today. Take the credit, the Democrats would.

I agree with you.
Aside from this claim, at one of those early pressers he looked really spooked.
It is still the reality that we havent been told the whole truth about this and will never be told.
The facts come out in bits and pieces by people who really care. Then they muddy up the whole thing by spreading as many lies as they can.
President Trump knows the truth about what this thing really was.
I love you Donald, but shut the f*ck up about the vaccines.
Nobody believes him. Obviously he picked 100 million out of thin air.
Most of the pro vaccine people are Biden voters who won’t give him any credit for anything. And his supporters will be annoyed that he’s sugar coating the benefits of the vaccine.
It’s a lose lose.
Totally agree with you. He needs to realize that these fake vaxes will be what brings him down.
Trump was never one for modesty and subtlety
Naw
Who’s to say?
With the crooked way they count “COVID Deaths”, Biden (or Trump) could’ve saved 100 million.
Well at least in a separate interview he said he firmly believed in freedom and would never mandate a vaccine.
