‘We think we’ll have a vaccine by the end of this year. And we’re pushing very hard. We’re building supplies lines now and we don’t even have the final vaccine,’ Trump said.
He pointed to Johnson & Johnson as one company making a dent.
‘Many companies, I think, are close,’ he told the Fox News Channel hosts.
At the town hall, the president also continued to tout the Malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine.
‘I think the Democrats, the radical left, would rather have people – I’m not going to say die – not get better because they think I’m going to get credit,’ he complained.
