Trump: Vaccines Took Place on My Watch
By: Brian Freeman
Good news! Thank you President Trump!
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Following the announcement by Moderna that its experimental vaccine was 94.5% effective in preventing coronavirus based on interim data from a late-stage clinical trial, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet on Monday to take credit for the news.
“Another Vaccine just announced. This time by Moderna, 95% effective,” the president wrote. “For those great ‘historians’, please remember that these great discoveries, which will end the China Plague, all took place on my watch!"
The Trump administration awarded, as part of "Operation Warp Speed," a $1.5 billion contract to Moderna in August to develop and deliver at least 100 million vaccine doses, the Blaze reported.
Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said the Trump administration was a key part of accelerating the company's progress in developing the vaccine.
However, World Health Organization head Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that “A vaccine on its own, will not end the pandemic,” Forbes reported.
He stressed that while this should hopefully relieve pressure on healthcare systems and reduce deaths, “the virus will still have a lot (of) room to move,” adding that “We still have a long road to travel.”
Tedros said that even with a vaccine, it will be crucial to continue measures currently being used such as contact tracing, testing, surveillance, and isolating cases, as well as encouraging communities and individuals to be careful.

Last January drug manufacturers announced it would take between 12 and 18 months to develop and produce a new vaccine. While Trump has repeatedly stated that a vaccine was ready "any week now".
"Operation Warp Speed" appears to be delivering a vaccine in the same timeline that was stated, PRIOR to "Operation Warp Speed". Once again Trump trying to take credit for something has hasn't done.
240,000 Plus Americans DEAD on his watch
Yes!
Bingo
According to experts we could have saved tens of thousands of lives, of course there are just experts and don't have your expertise.
Cheers
[delete]
Could have been 2,000,000 had he not acted.
240,000 Plus and climbing DEAD Americans on orange conman's watch. I guess you don't care as much as you cared about the Americans killed in Benghazi that had the right up in arms. So why do you give orange conman a pass on 240,000 plus DEAD Americans. I know, I know, orange conman walks on water
and just what was it that he did to stop the spread actually going to 2M?
Because it pisses us off. That's the only reason. MAGA even said so to me
He didn't act. The drug companies did. One already had to call him out publicly when he and Pence were going to take credit for their vaccine.
Would have been LESS if he HAD ACTED SOONER, but once again, you don't care about the dead Americans under his watch.
Exactly
Can you imagine trmp and Pence with goggles, and white lab coats, standing over bunsen burners and Erlenmeyer flasks pretending that they're scientists on the search for the cure?
He did act early and often. I care much more about China and their role in it happening in the first place, taking steps to spread it to the world, hoarding PPE’s and masks, etc. I blame them for every covid 19 death everywhere in the world.
NO, he did NOT act early enough. He knew how DEADLY this virus is and KEPT it to himself. All those deaths are ON HIM and you give him a pass on all those deaths. [removed]
hoarding PPE’s and masks
Maybe you don't remember when junior threw a hissy because states got equipment and said "It's not the state's equipment. It's our equipment." In Trumpspeak, that meant "It is for sale to the highest bidder and screw the Americans here who needed it." He acted so early that the WH is now a pitrie dish, his own damned wife and son getting it. Please don't bring up that bs about Trump's baring entry to Chinese nationals helped. He didn't stop people other than Chinese nationals from entry here which meant plane loads of infected panicky people came home to infect others. If he did so fucking good with the CV then why does the US have the highest infection rate than every other country? He called it a hoax, suggested ingesting bleach, listened to quacks and other cons, dismisses the science, ignored the experts, throws out the pandemic playbook for no other reason than it had Obama's name on it, and has tied the hands of the professionals. Then Ivanka gets a patent for respirators from China that did not function properly. He admitted that he downplayed and would continue to do so in a taped interview. His only act early and often is that in the role of a POTUS.
Like a golf ball in the woods.
They do like to ignore everything that the federal government has done.
And as been pointed out numerous times, the power of the President is limited by law. The President cannot lock down a state, cannot mandate facial masks, cannot do a lot of things. Trump could have messaged things better by talking to the American public about safety measures they need to take. But the entire process was politicized right from the start and once one side starts to attack via politics everything seems to go out the window.
While the administration was involved early on (regardless of what people want to say) we didn't hear a lot of it because it couldn't be used as clickbait by MSM so there was no money in talking about it. After the political fighting of the prior three years to think that a pandemic is going to get MSM to rethink their approach is insane.
While the administration was involved early on (regardless of what people want to say)
While I'm willing to admit that President Trump misled people by all the downplaying of the pandemic and that President Trump has a terrible way of speaking in public where he speaks off the cuff, are you at least willing to admit that President Trump did do positive acts like Warp Speed and all the times the defense act was engaged to manufacture PPE & ventalators? Or can you only broad-brush your response?
Not to mention all the field hospitals, the hospital ships, the persons to staff them, the combined 45 day shutdown to slow the spread as well.
There is no indication that Trump's executive orders in this area had any effect at all. The companies involved were flat-out, regardless of the President's hand-waving.
You may want to look deeper at what has happened thru HHS with regards to Operation Warp Speed.
For example:
March:
$456M to Johnson & Johnson on March.
April:
$483M to Moderna for support on Phase 1 trials.
May:
$1.2B to AstraZenaca's candidate.
July:
$450M to Regeneron to support large-scale manufacturing
$1.6B to Novavax to support large-scale manufacturing of their vaccine candidate.
$1.95B to Pfizer for large-scale manufacturing of 100 million doses.
August:
$1B to Johnson & Johnson to support large-scale manufacturing and delivery of 100 million doses of their vaccine.
$1.5B to Maderna to support large-scale manufacturing and deliver of 100 million doses of their vaccine.
Advancing money in July and August for the manufacturing of vaccines well before testing was completed, all to try to speed a successful vaccine to the people. Even CNN commented on this recently where it's just unprecedented to have a vaccine delivered this quickly, the normal process takes years in part because a company is not going to commit money to manufacturing before the vaccine is proven and approved.
In addition the U.S. Military is taking the lead in managing shipment and delivery. All of this, and more, came from President Trump's executive orders.
I know you hate President Trump, that's fine, that's your right. Hell, I don't like everything he says or does. I've had the same reaction to every president I've voted for and those elected who I didn't vote for, I like some of the things they do and don't like some of the other things they do. That's life. I just try to be not so locked into an opinion.
The Trump Administration gave billions of dollars to Big Pharma. Gosh. The Trump Administration lives to give billions of dollars to Big Business.
Do you really think that these companies would have worked more slowly without that money?
As for having military resources at work... well, duh...
......
Absolutely false. I hate no one.
I despise Trump's actions and his general behavior... but I never "hate" a person I do not know.
You are intellectually dishonest to presume to know my feelings without asking me.
Do you really think that we might have vaccines delivered AND injected into people possibly before the end of the year if Big Pharma had to do this all on their own?
As for your apparent disdain for military resources, the U.S. Military is very well versed in the field of logistics and is very well set up to handle the management of this distribution with minimal issues. Or would you have been happier if one of Trump's cronies took the lead for this in order to rake in millions in government contracts?
You're right, I don't know your feels and in the future will attempt to be more honest with you. All I know about you is what you post on these boards and from my interpretation of your words I thought you hated Trump.
Yes, I do think so.
Big Pharma is looking at many, many billions of dollars when they start selling their vaccines. Their everyday greed is powerful enough... they need no further incentive.
It's just gravy.
I agree that they will make many billions of dollars from this, and their stock values will also continue to increase. But I disagree that they would have thought about starting the mass manufacturing process before testing in Phase 2 had even been completed. Normally vaccines take years to produce because of all the hurdles the FDA has in place and the displeasure of shareholders to take an expense before there is any indication of efficacy which means return on the investment. But President Trump's EO removed the roadblocks and forced the FDA to work hand in hand quickly with big pharma and also provided billions of dollars to start the mass manufacturing well before it would have been known if the vaccine was safe and effective to use. This is what Operation WarpSpeed has brought to the table, treatments and vaccines delivered well before a normal timeline if the companies had to do this all on their own. If you cannot see that then I'm afraid you are allowing your feelings to cloud your judgement.
Every pharma was on the fast track. A dozen around the world. Speed was essential. For the companies.
So then you agree that every COVID death from January 20th on is Biden's fault because they happened under his watch.
Might as well cue up the impeachment now.
Every COVID-19 death from Jan 20th on will be 'on Biden's watch'.
Objective and honest people will realize that it will take time for his policies to go into effect and will hold off blaming him.
Partisans will start blaming him on the 20th.
I recommend objective, honest analysis over partisan 'thinking'.
Impeach Biden now!
Foolish partisanship.
Unfortunately Trump did not get that courtesy by the left. He was attacked for everything he did and did not do even before he was inaugurated.
Irrelevant.
The right thing to do is independent of bad behavior by others.
Is it honest and correct to immediately blame Biden on Jan 20th for all deaths that occur after he is sworn in or should we give a grace period so that he has a chance to at least act before being blamed?
Here’s how it will go, bugsy, everything good that happens during biden’s short presidency will be because of him. Everything bad will be trump’s fault. Count on it.
One certainty about partisans is that they will blame all bad on the other party and accept credit for all good for their party.
It does not matter if we are talking D or R, this pattern is obvious and demonstrable.
Partisan 'thinking' is irrational.
Both sides do it?
Are you asking me if there are D partisans and R partisans?
Yes, I believe there are. In fact I am confident that D and R partisans exist in impressive numbers who follow the party line and carry the party water no matter what and who believe most every position held by their party is correct and most everything claimed by the other party is wrong.
I observe this every day. Am I hallucinating?
Do you see this as symmetrical?
Bob, one of the debate themes I truly hate is the: sure, both sides are guilty but they are far more guilty than us.
Not going to engage on this.
That fence can get painful if you sit on it too long...
"Both sides do it" is wrong.
I purposely told you that I do not want to engage on this. The reason is because this is the kind of crap that always occurs.
The 'my side does it less than the other side' interlocutor declares that the acknowledgement of reality by the other necessarily means that the other is trying to straddle both sides; to avoid being decisive; to play it 'safe'; to make some excuse.
That is offensive as hell.
Not welcome, Bob.
I noted the fact that there are R and D partisans; that partisanship comes with having a party. The D partisans will claim that there are more R partisans and vice-versa. Pointless, subjective debate.
“When word-finding problems are a part of normal aging, the problem happens occasionally in conversations and the word often ‘comes back’ after a few minutes,” says Kimberly Mueller, who studies age-related changes in speech and language patterns at the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. If these retrieval problems — using pronouns instead of names you can’t remember, for example, or peppering conversation with “ums” and “ahhs” as your brain struggles to find a word — become more frequent and disruptive, it could signal the mild cognitive impairment that may lead to Alzheimer’s disease dementia, Mueller says. The University of Wisconsin center is researching how and when the development of abnormal proteins linked to Alzheimer’s affect everyday speech."
"Both sides do it" is wrong.
My side does do it less than the other side. That's fact. Anything else is denial.
LMAO!
Argue your strawman with someone else.
Reframing my comment into that lame platitude excuse is intellectually dishonest and insulting.
But, sure, Bob go ahead and now make me your opponent.
Prove it!
She can’t prove any of the stuff she wrote in her post!
Was impeach Trump now foolish partisanship 4 years running?
You two arguing about how much blame for all that ills the world should be directed at Christian conservatives who support Trump is amuzing to read.
Your argument is funny. Clearly you hold that impeaching Trump was foolish partisanship. So you tacitly admit that you are engaging in foolish partisanship.
Brilliant.
You two make fine opponents...
I was simply asking a question. I didn’t say anything regarding the sanity of either side. You’re the one who made it personal as usual with your tactics
A question in context.
And I broke down your question, revealing the underlying contradiction and presented it to you. No rebuttal other than 'it was just a question ...'.
You set the terms for exactly nothing in any conversation with me so get over yourself already!
Another vacuous reply.
Another non-surprise too.
More meaningless drivel in reply to the advent of the Trump vaccine that will end Chinas virus.
I wouldn't want that, so I'll drop it... for now.
I don't understand your vehemence, here.
It was!
You must be projecting. Thanks for proving TiG right!
That quote at the beginning of your seed doesn't put him in a very good light
A super Nova would not provide enough light to do that.
Can anyone spell narcissist? How about psychotic narcissist?
What is important is defeating the virus, not Trump's legacy. Trump's priorities are flipped and that is a key reason he lost the election.
Donald John Trump
See above
Another reason we will not have a lockdown in January or February.
You won't do it anyway, even if it means we can stop this thing. I hope to god you have not lost anyone to CV.
Lockdowns are useless. I will take the Trump vaccine. Though.
That is the kind of stupidity that has brought American almost a quarter-million dead.
Voting up multiple times:
Until they, or one of their own dies a miserable lonely death they will continue with the stupidity.
There is science that backs me up and areas that went through the severe lockdowns were harder hit then and are now being hard hit again. Precautions, social distancing and then the vaccine will get us through this.
How can you argue science (biology) when this very same science is founded on evolution?? Do you not comprehend your contradiction as an evolution denier?
OMG, the irony of that statement.
So... could you supply a link?
[deleted]
No but I do use mouthwash every day!
What "science" backs you up? You've proven in the past your understanding of actual science is very limited and biased.
Too many scientists and Doctors to count...
So you've got nothing then? Got it!
I am shocked!
I know, right?
As long as necessary to crush the curve.
House Dems passed a relief bill months ago, and ever since have been pleading with the Republican Senate to do the same.
You're right that the people who are not allowed to work (and draw their pay) must be supported.
The GOP refuses. The people must work. They must risk illness and death.
Shame the Democrats are filibustering a relief bill in the senate that has majority support. If Democrats cared about passing a relief bill, they’d plead with their own senators are blocking one.
[removed]
Why not?
It's in our interest to prevent widespread bankruptcy, foreclosure, and so on.
It will cover whatever Congress decides. Trump's "greatest accomplishment" was his tax cut. That gave a trillion dollars to the already wealthy - to people who did not need it.
So now let's give a trillion to the folks who really need it.
That is the bottom line. They are still too busy holding it hostage to Nancy Pelosi and her special interests.
We already gave multiple trillions for that and can give more still just not as much and not for the priorities of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. The only way for them to get all they want is to make real people suffer longer in the hopes that they can sweep both Georgia senate seats next year and 5150 their entire agenda.
If a vaccine happened under Trump's watch, then that means Covid happened under his watch too.
Because Trump caused China to allow the virus to come into being in the first place. Then he made the Chinese cover it up from the rest of the world, use the WHO in the process, made them refuse foreign help to contain it, made them allow people from wuhan who couldn’t go anywhere in China fly all over the world. Then he made China fly millions of their citizens to America. Then Trump went all over America as an avenging angel of death and personally killed each and every American who did of China virus.
I'm glad you agree it's Trumps fault.
The bi coastal fascist progressives blame Trump while real Americans blame China.
I am a REAL American, and I blame trump for not taking it serious enough/knowing full well how dangerous it is. He is responsible for 250,000 dead Americans
More like blame Trump for his dismal response to it.
There was no dismal response to it at the federal level. All the dismal results and actions occurred in blue mayor cities and blue governor states.
Palm Beach ? Mar a Lago ? the Villages ? Those bi coastal fascist progressives ?
Nope. Just from Eureka to Los Angeles on the west coast and Alexandria to Portland in the east
As opposed to insular antiifa retrogrades ...
Your descriptions are like a Chinese menu - one adjective from column A, one from column B, ...
Then you haven't been paying attention. Or just kept your head buried in the sand.
No, I actually have documentation of all that’s been done.
1968 when democrats had all the power
And there is documentation of continuously rising cases and deaths. The numbers dont lie. At best, clearly not enough has been done.
Once the Trump vaccine is fully distributed to the American people, this China exported curse will be over and the progress toward that is happening as we speak.
I see you're dodging the point. But it's disingenuous to call the vaccine the "Trump vaccine," as Trump didn't make it. It is the pharmaceutical companies that produce and distribute the vaccine. So they provide the nomenclature. If one is being honest, then we can generically name the vaccine the "Pfizer vaccine" or the "Moderna vaccine," or whichever company provides it.
Trump didn't create the virus, but it sure doesn't stop some left-wing nuts from claiming it is the Trump Virus.
No, we won't. It was President Trump's operation warp speed that enabled the scientists to get it done within the year.
It is the Trump vaccine, now & forever!
The FDA is waiting until Dec 10th to authorize it. Big Pharma ran ads against the President during the 2020 campaign. The same President who lowered inflated drug prices in the US. Pfizer waited until the election was over until announcing it would be first to development and even falsely claimed they received no federal funding. The Biden campaign tried to destroy the public's trust in any vaccine produced under the Trump administration.
I think a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves.
Don't forget Havana on the Willamette (Portland, Oregon) or Pyongyang on the Sound (Seattle, Washington) probably two of the worst of the leftist cities around next to the Bay area.
About 79,828,990 according to the AP.
Trump laid the groundwork so that private companies could race to a solution, cutting red tape, providing material support and distribution, providing risk free funding. He turned capitalism and free enterprise loose to do what he lnew would take government forever to do. Trump gets the credit for it here.
The China virus.
That about sums them up!
Those people have no shame...
And likely at least 10,000,000 of them aren’t real live people....or are some other manipulation and or fraud
Yes there was. He blocked travel from China to the West coast. Big deal. Several thousands or more people came from China after he put his travel ban in place. He did not address people coming in from Europe until after they had brought it with them. This was not necessarily his "fault" though. However, what was his and his entire administrations fault was the perfunctory and lackadaisical way in which they tried to Wizard of Oz and Tinker Bell it away by sheer (lack of) will power.
Like now when red and blue states and cities are being hit hard, just like the experts on infectious airborne disease said was going to happen? Just like everybody but the brainwashed, "we're rounding the corner" people knew was bound to happen once cold weather hit and we all moved back inside?
It really would be closer to the truth to say that there was no response on the Federal level.
No it wouldn’t.
History will record "Operation Warp Speed" and it will be remembered long after the name of Dr Fauci has been forgotten.
For emphasis ⇡.
A critical failure of Trump largely due to his narcissistic nature. He tried to downplay the virus because he (no doubt) feared that a panic would harm the market and also impact the economy. Trump certainly had to know that the economy was his ticket to a second term and tarnishing that could be deadly for his reelection.
So instead of doing the right thing, Trump did what he believed was best for Trump.
Turns out, he calculated wrong. If Trump would have behaved like a PotUS and did the right thing (face the pandemic honestly, encourage people to take precautions, etc.) rather than dismiss and downplay, the effects in the USA likely would have been far less.
Nuh 'uh is not a rebuttal. It is tacit admission of an inability to rebut.
What do you have against Fauci?
I seeded the entire federal response through April 2020 somewhere on this site already and it was an impressive list of actions taken.
He didn't do much to stop it either.
I haven't heard anyone call it that.
Then you're wrong!
Hardly. It was actual scientists working on a vaccine that will get it done.
See first statement.
It is the Trump vaccine and its first shipment is only 12 days away!
Clearly you don't understand how vaccines are named, even though it's been explained to you.
I’m just glad that the vaccine process will be well under way by Jan. 20 with millions having received it and plans to finish so well under way that Biden will have to either follow it or kill countless Americans by freezing distribution to do it his way.
I can’t wait to get the Trump vaccine to protect myself from the China virus.
Another Trump promise fulfilled! I think he's kept more of his promises than any president I can recall and each of them has been good for the country in like the four EO that Biden plans
Here’s another!
“AstraZeneca said its COVID-19 vaccine, cheaper to make, easier to distribute and faster to scale-up than its rivals, could be as much as 90% effective.
“This means we have a vaccine for the world,” said Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford University vaccine group that developed the drug.
Assets from emerging markets reacted strongly to the news, as it allays concerns over the distribution logistics of a vaccine for developing countries.
A popular emerging market stocks ETF was set to close at a 32-month high while the Mexican peso briefly strengthened to under 20 per dollar for the first time since March. The U.S. dollar index touched its lowest since Sept. 1 before edging higher, mostly at the expense of the euro.
Emerging market stocks rose 0.90% while MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.46%.”
NEW YORK (Reuters)
Thankyou Mr. President!
https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/strategy-for-distributing-covid-19-vaccine.pdf
The above are the federal game plan for the distribution of the Trump vaccine to the general public. It’s a great plan and will be well under way by Jan. 20.
Great news! The vaccines are about to become available! Thank you President Trump! 🇺🇸🦅🗽🥳🎉🥂🎊.
A coronavirus vaccine will begin to become available in the United States "probably by the end of the second week in December," Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield told Fox News Tuesday.
Redfield told "The Daily Briefing" that a vaccine would initially be made available "in a hierarchical way" with priority going to "nursing home residents and then some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for a poor outcome."
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has scheduled a Dec. 10 meeting of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee to discuss Pfizer's request for emergency use authorization (EUA) of its vaccine candidate.
Last week, Pfizer and German partner BioNTech announced that their vaccine candidate is 95% effective against COVID-19 in a large, ongoing study. The FDA can grant an EUA before the final testing is fully complete.
ASTRAZENECA LATEST COVID-19 VACCINE TO SHOW PROMISE: HERE'S HOW IT COMPARES TO MODERNA AND PFIZER
"I do think we'll have about 40 million doses of vaccine before the end of the ... year," Redfield told host Dana Perino. "That's enough to vaccinate 20 million people. But then it will continue through January and February and hopefully by March we'll start to see vaccine available for the general public."
In addition to the Pfizer/BioNTech candidate, potential vaccines from Massachusetts-based Moderna and British-Swedish giant AstraZeneca have also shown promise. Last week, Moderna announced its vaccine was 94.5% effective and it intended to submit an EUA request to the FDA "in the coming weeks."
On Monday, AstraZeneca announced that its vaccine was up to 90% effective against the virus.
Redfield warned Perino that while "it's exceptional that we have these vaccines and very exciting," Americans should still practice the precautions recommended by health officials.

"I want people to be vigilant because we're turning the corner now," he said. "You don't want to be the last group to end up getting COVID."
Redfield added that the surge of cases and hospitalizations across the U.S. is being driven by what he called "the silent epidemic, the asymptomatic infections largely in individuals between the ages of 12 and 35."...

Thank God for President Trump! Thank Him also that Trump is distributing it to us and not Biden. So much for mask mandates and shutdowns!
