WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Florida’s plan to end all state vaccine mandates was a “tough stance” and said there are vaccines that work and people should take them.
“I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don’t have to be vaccinated. It’s a very … tough position,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, when asked about Florida’s announcement this week.
“You have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it, and they endanger other people,” he said.
