Former President Donald Trump all but begged for credit on the United States vaccine rollout plan, releasing a statement asking for “Just a mention please!”

Following the CDC’s announcement that vaccinated Americans can almost entirely shed their masks, Trump released his own statement, in an email via his Save America PAC — complaining that he has received no credit for the plan.

“Isn’t it incredible that because of the vaccines, which I and my Administration came up with years ahead of schedule (despite the fact that everybody, including [Anthony] Fauci, said would never happen), that we no longer need masks,” read the statement. “And yet our names are not even mentioned in what everybody is calling the modern day miracle of the vaccines?”

Trump claimed the President Joe Biden and his administration had “zero to do” with the vaccine, adding, “all they did was continue our plan of distribution, which was working well right from the beginning!”

“Without the vaccines, this world would have been in for another 1917 Spanish Flu, where up to 100 million people died,” he wrote. “Because of the vaccines we pushed and developed in record time, nothing like that will be even close to happening. Just a mention please!”
