An overwhelming majority of Americans have no confidence or trust in President Donald Trump to verify the safety of any coronavirus vaccine, a new poll shows.
Only 18 percent of Americans said they have a"good amount" of confidence in a vaccine promoted by Trump. A slight majority of Americans—53 percent—reported their amount of confidence in Trump pushing a COVID-19 vaccine to be"none at all."
Americans' trust they could receive a"safe and effective coronavirus vaccine" has actually decreased since May, along with the amount of people who say they would volunteer to receive an inoculation. According to a series of interviews taped by longtime political journalist Bob Woodward, Trump knew coronavirus was highly contagious and deadly early on. But the president downplayed the seriousness of coronavirus to the American public, which he later justified as an attempt to prevent chaos. Writing in his new book, Woodward described the president telling him,"This is deadly stuff," on February 7—weeks before cases emerged in the United States.
