If operation warp speed wasn’t done we wouldn’t have had the vaccine that liberals love.

I remember when it came out democrats were against the vaccine, then when January 2021 came around we literally had them change their talking points.

Bidenomics and the shutdown of the economy didn’t help. Inflation took off and there was no response from the administration.

I posted this on another thead, and it was easier to cut and paste it than type it again. OWS was a failure for Trump, not a success.

You think that Operation Warp Speed was a good thing?

After declining to be a part of OWS, Pfizer, was still the first company to come up with a successful Covid-19 vaccination. Because Pfizer would not participate in OWS, Trump's administration only purchased 100M doses to being with, enough for 50M people (less than 1/6 of the US population). The Trump administration, as was normal, banked far more on solutions that would help the egocentric President's image, so they banked the majority of the nation's funds on companies that would participate in OWS and make the OWS the highlight that would put a feather in POTUS' cap. So they invested in the problematic Moderna and J&J. By the time that Pfizer had FDA/CDC approval, Trump's administration tried to purchase more vaccines, but when the Trump administration would not purchase the vaccines in the original deal, Pfizer then made arrangements with many other nations around the world to sell to them. The rest of the original production of Pfizer vaccines went internationally while the US then waited for Moderna and J&J to catch up. Months later, they were able to get an agreement with Pfizer to purchase a second batch of 100M doses.

And even with the money that OWS pumped into those two pharmaceuticals, they were not well equipped to do the work on the vaccines and they cut a lot of corners. Even with the huge infusion of money, these two companies lagged months behind Pfizer in research, testing, clinical trials and more. Then, when they were finally able to get their vaccines finished, they were short the resources to manufacture and distribute their vaccines in the quantity that they promised and were supposed to deliver. So J&J hired Emergent Biotech to help them manufacture and distribute their vaccines. But Emergent had already been cited more than once for cutting corners, not following safe lab practices, and not being thorough on documentation. And what happened? Surprise, Emergent contaminated a batch of nearly 15M doses of the vaccine, more than half of what they were supposed to deliver (10M doses were allowed to be distributed, 15M doses had to be trashed). Even with the huge influx of cash, Moderna was never able to meet their promised distribution, often 6-12 months behind what was promised.

Had the Trump administration not pushed OWS and had just committed to purchase vaccinations from the first company that could get FDA and CDC approval, we would have had 400M doses of Pfizer vaccine more than a year ahead of when we reached that number waiting for Moderna and J&J to finish, get approved and ramp up production enough to accommodate their portion of the deal and for Pfizer's second round of production to be available to the US.

More than a year during with hundreds of thousands of patients died, many of whom may not have died had they been able to get vaccinations sooner.

OWS was a terrible mistake by Trump and so many don't understand how OWS actually slowed down getting vaccinations into arms of patients and how many lives that OWS cost us.

this has nothing to do with the Mandates imposed by Democrats, not Trump. The mandates are the culprit and what contributed negatively to our economy, which is the topic of our discussion. I will blame THIS administration for the disaster of legalizing segregation and splitting our society even further than what happened in 2020.

I am not a fan of OWS myself and don't disagree with what you are saying, i am not a fan of Trump for going for it and for not putting the foot in the door on treatments which I think are much more effective in making this pandemic become endemic sooner. There are mistakes done under his administration, but politicization of the entire pandemic and especially vaccine mandates and vaxxports was the doing of the democrats. Covid became a tool in the election, and it also became a tool to introduce tighter controls over the behavior of the masses in big Metro areas and make them amendable to submitting the fundamental rights of consent over what medical interventions can go inside their bodies.

No, actually. The whole pandemic was politicized in the first few weeks when Republicans called this a “blue state bug” and refused to support masking and closures. I was there. I remember clearly.

then your memory isn't good.

Actually what happened is Pelosi and the Democrats marching around China town saying there was no virus.

We also remember when people like Newsome and the Obama's said everyone had to wear masks...then like...they didn't and went out and had parties and stuff while the rest of America suffered.
