In her recent interview with CNN, Harris was asked if she would take a vaccine approved by the Trump administration before the crucial November election, to which she said that she would not trust Trump on any COVID-19 vaccine and alleged that he might interfere with the official approval of a drug in order to secure bonus points for the US Polls.
