Jerome Adams reveals that Biden admin refused to work with Trump team to combat vaccine hesitancy
By: Robert Jonathan
Democrats would rather have a vaccine hesitancy problem than a bi partisan shared effort solution. So they instead resort to shrill name calling and police state solutions with expected results. Way to go Brandon!
President Donald Trump
Right In Front of Them
Just like Afghanistan, the Biden admin has failed to foresee the foreseeable - this time with COVID.

During a vaccine-cheerleading CNN panel discussion that reacted to President Biden’s speech about the COVID-19 Omicron variant on Tuesday, the former U.S. surgeon general claimed that the Biden team has rejected overtures from Trump administration officials to help address jab hesitancy.
In a portion of the conversation that also praised Biden’s lamentation of vaccine misinformation, Dr. Jerome Adams revealed that unnamed members of the current administration have rebuffed Republicans who have offered to pitch in.
CNN anchor Ana Cabrera teed it up by accusing the Trump administration, without evidence, of encouraging a “conservative narrative” of a distrust of science and “lies.”
“Well, That’s a great question,” Dr. Adams responded, “and one of the things we need to do is find other people out there who can be representatives, who can be purveyors of positive information. I’ll just be honest with you: I’ve told the White House, many people from the last administration have said to the White House, we want to help you, and we’ve been told ‘we don’t want your help.’
“So they want to try to reach conservatives by only putting out their voices,” he added, while also indicating that he didn’t want to name names.
“I don’t want to get into that, but I will tell you, they don’t want to work with people who are on the other side of the aisle. That is a problem. That is something that they could be doing more of, is reaching out to more conservatives, to get positive messages out there. They could also be putting out more [public service announcements].
“So you saw me, Birx, Fauci, Redfield, on TV, on the internet, all the time when we were in the thick of the COVID pandemic. There’s more they could be doing to put out positive messages combatting that misinformation, and we’re all still wondering, where are all these PSAs that we could and should be seeing, talking about how vaccines don’t cause infertility, talking about how vaccines actually help mothers have a safe and healthy pregnancy. Talking about how you should still get vaccinated even if you’ve had COVID before. There’s more we could be doing to actually combat that misinformation in a productive way, instead of just pointing fingers,” he added.
It’s no particular secret that the far-left activists seem to be the prime decision-makers in the Biden administration. Or as Dr. Oz, the GOP Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, has said repeatedly, when you mix medicine and politics, you get politics.
The COVID vaccine was, of course, developed pursuant to President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed.
In his speech on Tuesday, Biden insisted, among other things, that it is a “patriotic duty” to get vaccinated.
All this is unfolding as many high-profile, triple-jabbed individuals, including Members of Congress and professional athletes, are testing positive for the virus.
During his roadshow with Bill O’Reilly during which he touted the life-saving success of the COVID vaccine,” former President Trump revealed that he got the booster shot , which prompted a “very tiny group” in the audience to boo.
In seemingly dismissing injection hesitancy from the crowd, he said “take credit for [the vaccine]…you’re playing right into their hands when you’re sort of like ‘oh the vaccine,” without defining who they are.
The booster shot “may be one of the few things [Trump] and I agree on,” Biden noted in his prepared remarks on Tuesday.
Like many GOP elected officials, or former officials in this case, Trump is pro-vaccine (and pro-therapeutics), but anti-mandate.
diehard trumpsters need to be told what to do by mar-a-lardo? don't get the vax trumpsters, covid is fake news.
So were anti/never Trumpers. We have heard ad nauseum that he should have sounded the alarm about the virus and a majority of them did just that. Waited for GovCo to tell them what to do...............instead of using their own heads.
Mighty mental midget Democrat lemmings can't see they put the most incompetent human POS in the White House ever?
Biden and Harris were the original anti vaxxers. Neither were going to take the Trump vaccines, remember?
Why should anyone trust either of those assholes when they change their tunes? Of course they are still lying. The vaccines don't cure anything, hell they don't even prevent you from getting Covid. They might, repeat that might, lower the symptoms of Covid if you catch it. They also don't prevent any breakthrough cases from transmitting it. With each new strain of Covid the "vaccines" become less and less effective. Requiring the time between shots to become shorter and shorter.
If the Biden administration were really interested in ending Covid they would be looking at therapeutics. But all he cares about is jab, jab, jab, and enriching drug companies further. That and playing fascist dictator with un-Constitutional mandates.
Democrats scream follow the science. When they only really care about is power, and following the damn money.
Right on. You're exactly right! Only morons listen to the Tangerine Palpatine
So you are saying conservatives and others should ignore his advice to get the vaccine and or the booster? Thanks for the demonstration that democrats would prefer vaccine hesitancy to a bi partisan resolution to the issue.
... fox news ...
There is nothing at all in post 1.4 that was attributed in quote marks in 1.5. It is a lie to say that 1.5 is a quote of what was said in 1.4. Nor does Fox News have anything to do with my seed or my post. If Brandon and it’s regime wants less vaccine resistance, it will need to recruit and urge former Trump administration members to actively persuade on its behalf because clearly badmouthing them and resorting to coercion on the hesitant is not working.
I know who are resistant to getting vaccinated and I hope most of them double down and continue to resist, come what may...
Within 2 months this whole pandemic will be over. Omicron is creating a panic on the left not because it is a lethal strain but because it is so mild and so widespread that it will give universal antibodies and cease to be the crisis they need to maintain their police state mentality around the world and here.
The former criminal enterprise of an administration are/were the ones encouraging vaccine hesitancy with all their lies and mis and disinformation and saying there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Its only recently that he's encouraged vaccines and boosters and he was jeered by his own supporters and we're supposedto believe now that this is all due to President Biden's lack of cooperation with him?
Typical projection, deflection and denial from the Turd Reich supporters
Maybe you need to reread.....er...read...1.1.2
Might give you some insight on why you are wrong...
again
Or she could re read the seeded article.
You can't re read something you haven't read on the first place.
Good point.
CDC chief on omicron cases: "There is no need to panic"
Like that?
The bottom line here is that the Brandon regime would rather have the vaccine hesitancy driven by its own actions and then resort to police powers to coerce rather than have an amicable bi partisan solution to the issue. They prefer the emergency and the power they think they can get from not letting a crisis get to waste
Let's be perfectly clear. The Shit-for-Brains Trump regime was never interested in or attempted an amicable bipartisan solution for anything. Shit-for Brains Trump was only interested in escalating partisan warfare to the detriment of the country.
Read post 1.1.2 to see who the real shit for brains were.
They are the very damn people that are in charge now; and are fucking everything up at warp speed.
The real Shit-for-Brains was the criminal Trump regime. Shit-for-Brains is the name by which Donald Trump will be known forever.
The Biden administration is accomplishing great success, whether ignorant Trumpists and reactionary extremist propagandists admit it or not.
This December 20, 2021 article from Bloomberg sets it forth clearly, as do numerous other commentators.
"Biden's Economic Performance Has Proved Unbeatable
No first-year president going back to Carter comes close to matching the current White House occupant’s No. 1 or No. 2 ranking in each of 10 key measures.
U.S. financial markets are outperforming the world by the biggest margin in the 21st century, and with good reason: America’s economy improved more in Joe Biden's first 12 months than any president during the past 50 years notwithstanding the contrary media narrative contributing to dour public opinion .
Exceptional returns from dollar-denominated assets, especially the S&P 500 Index in both absolute terms and relative to its global counterparts, can be attributed to record-low debt ratios enabling companies to reap the biggest profit margins since 1950 . Corporate America is booming because the Biden administration's Covid-19 vaccination programs and $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan reduced the jobless rate to 4.2% in November from 6.2% in February, continuing an unprecedented rate of decline during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Consider that real, or inflation adjusted, gross domestic product surged at an average annual rate of 5.03% in each of the first three quarters of 2021, and is poised to expand 5.6% for the year based on the average estimate of more than 80 economists surveyed Bloomberg. If that forecast proves accurate, it would be more than 2.8 times the average between 2000 and 2019 and double the average since 1976.
All of which makes Biden's first year in the White House the standout among the seven previous presidents, based on 10 market and economic indicators given equal weight. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, no one comes close to matching Biden's combination of No. 1 and No. 2 rankings for each of the measures:
Per capita disposable income, which rose 1.08% this year, is the only comparable weakness for Biden, trailing Donald Trump’s 2.17%, George W. Bush’s 2.01%, Jimmy Carter’s 1.80% and Ronald Reagan’s 1.42%.
GDP growth in every incoming administration during the past four decades never exceeded 2.74% until 2021. Biden is now positioned to surpass Carter (5.01%) as the GDP champion of presidents since 1976. Much of the credit goes to The American Rescue Plan, which poured $66 billion into 36 million households and reduced the child poverty rate by 50%, helping the U.S. recover faster from the pandemic than most other nations.

Corporate America was never healthier than under Biden in 2021. Efforts to support consumers flowed through to America’s companies, which are enjoying profit margins of around 15%, the widest since 1950, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Non-financial profit increased 39.3%, making Biden No. 1 among eight presidents with Obama a distant second at 21.6%.
Earnings Bonanza
Corporate profits have boomed in Biden's first year in office

The boom times have allowed companies to reduce net debt as a percentage of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to the lowest since data was compiled in 1990 for companies in the S&P 500. All this helps explain why the stock market under Biden is second only to George H.W. Bush of any incoming president since Carter.

Americans are certainly feeling good. Consumer credit surged $196 billion through October, a record under Biden that is 27% more than the increase under No. 2 Donald Trump ($154 billion). Although some of the gains reflect a rebound from 2020 when the pandemic caused many consumers to retrench, they wouldn’t be adding debt if they weren’t feeling confident.

Biden is the only president over the past half century with robust increases in non-farm payrolls (4.3%) and manufacturing jobs (2.6%), approaching the gains enjoyed by Carter in general employment (4.6%) and factory workers (3.9%). Trump, who inherited the longest expansion in modern times and said in 2015 he would “be greatest jobs producer that God ever created,” is an also-ran, with non-farm and manufacturing payrolls inching up 1.4% and 1.3%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Returning to Factories
Manufacturers have added more workers under Biden
Companies need all the workers they can get. U.S. business output, a measure of productivity, increased 4.4%, putting Biden ahead of every predecessor except Carter, where it gained 6.25%. No wonder confidence among chief executive officers of the largest U.S. companies soared to a record this year as expectations for hiring, capital investment and sales improved. The Business Roundtable's CEO Economic Outlook index, launched in 2004, rose 10 points to 124 in the fourth quarter, the highest in 20 years.
Getting Back to Work
Business output is surging under Biden as the economy recovers
America’s economy is the envy of the world, looking at the foreign-exchange market. The dollar has strengthened 7.37% this year. That is the most under a first-year president since the greenback gained 17.8% for Reagan, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The Mighty Greenback
America's currency has gotten stronger under Biden
In another sign that the U.S. economy is a global leader under Biden, U.S. stocks outperformed the world equity market by 6.3 percentage points, the widest advantage since 1988, when George H.W. Bush was in the White House, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Beating the World
U.S. stocks are generating higher returns than the global equity market
The good times may extend into 2022. Biden's bipartisan $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act bodes well for the economy and American labor because it will rebuild the nation's deteriorating roads and bridges as well as fund climate and broadband initiatives that create jobs. Even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said his priority was preventing the Biden agenda, voted for the law along with 18 fellow Republicans.
Biden, like Carter, now faces the political fallout of the accelerating inflation from global supply chain breakdowns associated with the pandemic even though maintaining stable inflation and interest rates are the primary responsibility of the Federal Reserve, and the Fed said it's prepared to tighten monetary policy in 2022.
Biden, unlike Carter, benefits from the $29 trillion U.S. debt market. In contrast to the 1970s and early 1980s, confidence in the Fed’s ability to get inflation back under control is unimpaired, reflected in the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fluctuating below 1.7% as inflation hovers at 4.1%. When Carter was in the White House, investors lost confidence in the Fed, evidenced by the 10-year yield rising to 12.6% with inflation reaching 9.65%.
The clear message from the market that tells all other markets what to do is that the people with the most at stake are betting on the Biden economy."
Would you want to try to work with somebody who opened an clown show that was the "Meuller Investigation" looking for something that didn't exist based on information information that was as honest as a Tom Clancy novel, that lied to courts to obtain warrants and still come up empty handed? I wouldn't. The best part about Trump time in office is that during all that shit thrown at him (the division in the country at the hands of Democrats and the left, the "investigation", false narrative and opposition from Democrats and the (m)ass media) Trump still come out more successful in 4 years than the current President has in 50 years.
Oh goodie!!!! It's story time!!!!
The seed and the comments on CNN make clear which side was not interested in bipartisan solutions to anything at all. The Brandon who ran on a national unity campaign has been the most divisive President ever. The refusal to send Trump out along with former members of his administration to promote his vaccines and the refusal until now to give Trump any credit for them and operation warp speed was a huge mistake.
(my comments continued)
Brandon wanted all the credit for the vaccines and for reaching certain milestones by certain dates and he wanted to deny the legitimacy of Trump and his supporters even on this matter. Well that blew up in his face and now he tries to do with force and coercion through emergency powers and mandates what others could have done through friendly persuasion if allowed to do so.
It’s not Biden’s economy. It’s still Trumps economy. It’s still his regulatory policies for the most part, still his tax rates, and still the pre pandemic normal of Trump that we are striving to match and have already done so in many red states. Trumps pandemic measures were sufficient and Biden’s “stimulus” is only stimulating inflation and giving slush funds to blue states that are holding America’s economy back
You got that right!
The Brandon regime is keeping it in "emergency" status because they think it will make it easier to roll out the Brown Shirts.
Saw the below the other day. It sums up the whole train wreck:
That about sums it up…
