President Donald Trump wonders whether Operation Warp Speed was a big success during his first term.
By Catholics for Catholics
Was President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed to develop COVID-19 vaccines during his first term a decisive success, or not?
According to The Washington Times, Trump repeatedly flaunts his first-term vaccine endeavor as a historic scientific achievement. Nevertheless, his second-term health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has a long history of vaccine suspicion that led to the recent firing of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez and other top officials.
“It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs. Many people think they are a miracle that saved millions of lives,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social on Labor Day. “With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW.”
Scientists give the impression that they concur that COVID-19 vaccines won’t stop you from getting COVID-19. Notwithstanding, they can lessen the severity of disease and the risk of death or hospitalization, according to The Times.
Pfizer and Moderna released pioneering mRNA vaccines in late 2020 that showed around 95% effectiveness against symptomatic COVID-19. Still, the virus changed, and the vaccines seem to decline over time, leading to confusion over how much impact they had against the coronavirus.
A study of the 2024-2025 Pfizer shot in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System found the shot was 68% effective against hospitalization.
Though drugmakers provide him with excellent data on the ability of the vaccines, Trump said this is not percolating into the public cognizance
Drugmakers “go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work,” Mr. Trump posted. “They show me GREAT numbers and results, but they don’t seem to be showing them to many others. I want them to show them NOW, to CDC and the public, and clear up this MESS, one way or the other!!!”
