Former President Donald Trump said the federal government is doing a “terrible disservice” to Americans by halting usage of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, while saying it may have been halted due to “possibly political reasons.”

It came after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended a pause in using the J&J COVID-19 shot.
