Trump Makes a Statement on COVID Vaccines, Brags About Nine Month Approval Time

Trump released the following statement on Truth Social, responding to Joe Biden’s State of the Union: "“The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The Vaccines that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat Cancer – Turning setback into comeback!” YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!"

In the TruthSocial post above, Trump mentioned his nine-month approval time for Covid vaccines.

I am frankly shocked by the stupidity of both statements.

The vaccines did not “save us from the pandemic” - they made the pandemic worse. And being proud that such vaccines were pushed through in just nine months is perhaps a bit misguided.

Biden can't beat Trump (except by fraud), but Trump can possibly beat himself. Unfortunately he's still totally clueless about the vaccine disaster he presided over.

We had a pandemic of government lies, obfuscations, deceptions and tyranny. Donny-boy’s creepy synthetic mRNA injections were PART of that pandemic. He owes We the People an apology.

I gotta agree. This is something that Trump was absolutely wrong about, and I wish he would realize that and admit his mistake.

[irishjuggler]

I agree. One of Trump’s flaws is paying too much attention to the media. They hawked the phony “safe and effective” narrative so long and so shamelessly that Trump apparently thinks the general public still swallows it and he is thus wants a pat on the back for this great “success story.”

[griffin]

Absolutely. So, between a habit of choosing bad people and ‘trumping’ this BS....I’m kinda wonder WTH he is about.

[mewzilla]

Not gonna play Deep State’s game of lets-you-and-him-fight.

Unless they have some true and tested data about Covid vaccines HELPING in cancer cases, DJT should just not comment on it at all, IMO. The left is also likely to start putting out their own data about how harmful the shots are/were, and blaming him.

[Wilderness Conservative]

If big Left wasn’t owned by big Pharma they would be all over Trump for the vaccine deaths and injuries as well as it being useless.

[HollyB]

Not to mention, from what I’ve come to understand, this ‘vaccine’ technology was being developed already.

I really wish Trump would understand just how deceived he was by the swamp.

I get he’s making a point about cutting thru red tape. But, this is not the example he should use.

[Leaning Right]

Trump tried to bring industry back to America. And he kept the peace worldwide. Highlight those things, Mr. Trump.

But I don’t think bragging about the COVID vax is going to win over many folks. Let that one be.

[mass55th]

Unfortunately, people like you don’t give Trump the credit for never making the shots mandatory. Democrats did. Encouraging scientists to develop a shot is one thing. Forcing people to get it in order to keep their jobs is another.

[Truthsearcher]

Advocating on behalf of TikTok is not helping him any either.

[mass55th]

You owe yourself an apology if you willingly chose to take them.

[OHPatriot]

Agree, Trump needs to STFU about the vaccines. He got played big time by ALL the crooked bureaucrats. As a political novice, his mistake was giving them the benefit of the doubt in the first place.

Democrats will try to hang EVERY vax injury on Trump. Remember Joey issued the mandates not Trump.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

We need relief from both fools.

[Kazan]

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a push to develop a vaccine. Covid was the worst flu-outbreak or the equivalent in a century. There was a genuine pandemic.

I disagree with him touting the vaccines given their deadly side effects. But, Trump wasn't the one pushing for mandated shots. If someone got a shot, that's on them. The information about the potential side effects from the mRNA shots were out there as soon as the vaccines were available.

[backpacker_c]

nevertrumpers armchair quarterbacking and trying to second guess and blame Trump for doing what he was advised was the right thing at the time.

covid was a pandemic.

many people did die of covid, or the complications from it.

likewise, many people were affected by the vaccines produced to try to protect people from covid.

Read up on pandemics and immuniology, and add in the consideration that china was putting out false information, before saying you know how the situation should have been handled.

[Reily]

I give Trump credit for not making the shots mandatory. I fault him reducing the development time and not communicating the risk in both safety & effectiveness. You don’t accelerate complex developments without dramatically increasing risk. Some things can’t be accelerated no matter how much pressure or risk you put on the developers.

[Clarancebeaks]

Anyone’s better than Biden, but I have absolutely no faith in Trump either. When he says he’s going to have mass deportations, and tells us how wonderful the vaccines are, he is illustrating to us just how stupid he believes we all are. I for one am not stupid enough to believe his bullsh#t. I plan to vote for him though since its the only alternative. I doubt that it will make much difference though.

[shanover]

To be fair, President Trump was in a no win situation. The left was ready to attack and turn the flu/cold “pandemic” into a crisis and political opportunity no matter what. The two a-hole advisers scarf woman and the troll purposely mislead the President and American people. Using the fake Vax as a accomplishment is not a winning point.
