To his credit, former President Trump has come out swinging in defense of his miracle "Warp Speed" vaccines, telling Candace Owens they are "one of the greatest achievements of mankind."
Yes, indeed. Thank you, President Trump. He saved many lives from the China virus. Still, some of his supporters reject this accomplishment, playing into China's hands and getting sick and dying.
Incredible.
Trump said, "...the vaccine worked, but some people aren't taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine."
He also brought up the number of deaths from the Spanish flu.
Here are the facts, according to the U.S. Army website:
“American combat deaths in World War I totaled 53,402. But about 45,000 American Soldiers died of influenza and related pneumonia by the end of 1918.”
Here's part of the transcript of the show that Axios provided:
Donald Trump: I came up with three vaccines — all are very, very good. I came up with three of them in less than nine months...
Candace Owens: And yet more people have died under COVID this year, by the way, under Joe Biden than under you. And more people took the vaccine this year, so people are questioning how --
Trump: Oh, no. The vaccine worked. But some people aren't taking it. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine.
But it’s still their choice, and if you take the vaccine, you're protected. Look the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine."
This isn’t the first he has said this. “I’m all in favor of the vaccine,” Trump told New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. “It’s one of the great achievements, a true miracle, and not only for the United States. We’re saving tens of millions of lives throughout the world. We’re saving entire countries.”
Trump ordered the rapid development of COVID vaccines. Still, we have lost more than 800,000 Americans, and the virus is mutating.
General George Washington ordered the Revolutionary Army to get inoculated against smallpox. It was the first mandate. He saved his soldiers and turned the tide against the British.
Trump has given us a fighting chance to survive against China.
Keeping the American people safe from COVID is absolutely necessary if the “Great Reset” or a “New World Order” is to be avoided. The American people must defeat the disease and then hold China accountable for what it has done to the world.
In doing so, Trump took on the pro-China and pro-Russian disinformation specialists who are circulating material on conservative websites that emphasizes "breakthrough" cases from the vaccinated. There is far more risk, as Trump said, from not getting the vaccines.
Supposedly an anti-communist outfit, the John Birch Society has been relentlessly attacking the Trump Warp Speed vaccines that have saved millions of lives.
A recent issue of its house organ, The New American, advertises “an exclusive and explosive one-hour interview” with “pioneering mRNA scientist Dr. Robert Malone,” who, among other things, “discusses the problems with the vaccine program…” But writer Veronika Kyrylenko, Ph.D. says that “Malone acknowledged that mRNA technology is effective at blocking infection” but that side-effects were possible.
Malone’s opinion is something to be seriously considered. But all vaccines have side-effects.
In this case, the benefits outweigh the risks.
Key figures in the development of the successful Trump Warp Speed vaccines, according to Nature, were biochemist Katalin Karikó and immunologist Drew Weissman, both then at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Karikó was a refugee from communist Hungary who says there are “hundreds of scientists who contributed more to mRNA vaccines than he [Malone] did.”
It was Trump’s genius that got the scientists to develop the vaccines in record time.
Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York and health policy expert, calls the development of vaccines to stop the carnage a “miracle” and gives Trump complete credit. She writes that “Trump is responsible for producing vaccines in record time and guaranteeing that America had first dibs on the supply.”
But in preparation for a conference, the John Bircher-associated Red Pill Expo advertised “one of the most popular and most Internet-banned truth-tellers” and how he would “strike at the roots of the greatest medical hoax of all time” – the China virus. The promo said, “Virus? Virus? WHAT Virus? This Doctor Says There is no Such Thing!”
In a follow-up, we were told that a microbiologist would say that “vaccines will decimate world’s population.”
In fact, it’s the China virus that is already doing that, and many are taking the vaccine to stop the spread and save the lives of others.
With China Joe Biden now being exposed for having botched the roll-out of the COVID tests, Trump can tell the American people that he deserves credit for the vaccines. What a contrast that will make with the Democrats.
And Biden is now giving Trump credit. “Let me be clear: Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America is one of the first countries to get the vaccine,” China Joe said.
Finally, Biden acknowledge Trump’s role in the miracle vaccines.
If people don't want to take the vaccine, fine. Just don't lead others into misery and death by spouting off. There is blood on your hands.
What’s more, it’s bad politics. Opposing life-saving vaccines is a loser at the ballot box. Just ask Virginia’s new Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, who ran on a platform of promoting vaccines. “I have been a strong, strong advocate for everyone to get the vaccine,” he said during the campaign. “I do believe that individuals should be allowed to make that decision on their own. But that's why I launched a public service announcement to encourage people to get the vaccine.”
In order to safeguard our security, we have to stay alive in the face of the threat posed by the China virus and its variants.
On the eve of Christmas, the American people need that message of faith, hope, and proven scientific success.
