Trump Reveals He Got The Pfizer Vaccine Before Leaving Office In January

  • Trump contracted COVID-19 last fall at the height of the 2020 presidential campaign

Donald Trump has revealed which COVID-19 vaccine he received before leaving the White House as President.

“Well, I got the Pfizer and I would have been very happy with any of them,” Trump told Yahoo Finance Live in a wide-ranging interview.

The Trump administration spent $18 billion dollars on Operation Warp Speed to develop and deliver multiple vaccine candidates from firms like Pfizer (PFE) Moderna (MRNA) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) although Pfizer developed its vaccine without any money from the U.S. government.

Trump contracted COVID-19 last fall at the height of the 2020 presidential campaign.

“I had it, recovered from it pretty well. I don’t think I had it like the press, like the media said, you know, they would try to make it difficult,” the former president said. “It’s not pleasant, but I had it.”

The former United States President and his wife Melania, who also recovered from COVID-19 last fall, received their vaccinations shortly before leaving Washington in January, but waited until last March to disclose that.

On Friday, deaths from COVID-19 in the United States topped 700,000, a grim milestone that makes the outbreak more deadly than the pandemics of 1918 and 1919.
