"Lot of people looking at it and saying, you knowI don't hear bad stories, I hear good stories. And I don't hear anything whereit is causing death. So it is not something like… You know we are doingvaccines. Johnson and Johnson, they need to test that. It seemsmalaria-affected countries are unaffected where it is common (sic)." Trumpadded.
