Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for Operation Warp Speed’s global impact
Stat ^ | Aug. 6, 2025 | Marc Siegel

Cambodia recently announced that it plans to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In response, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, naming other conflicts that Trump has “ended,” said that, “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

I agree that it’s “well past time.” To be specific: Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for Operation Warp Speed (OWS), which through a classic public/private partnership during the final year of his first term helped bring the world back from one of the worst pandemics in history. This effort produced novel vaccines, therapeutics, and rapid tests, and has already saved millions of lives around the world, with more to come with other diseases thanks to the underlying mRNA technology.

To be sure, mRNA vaccines got caught in a web of political warfare both during and following the Covid pandemic. Just this week, when Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that HHS plans to cancel contracts and pull funding for more than 20 mRNA vaccine development investments he said pose “more risk than benefits.”

This is coming at a time when mRNA vaccines are showing great new promise in that fight against cancer. It would appear that politics is once again triumphing over science. That’s not to say that this technology carries no risks — only that there is a huge scientific upside.

The political rancor does not ultimately detract from Operation Warp Speed’s historical importance. In fact, the award might help diminish some of that rancor.

Even those who are skeptical of mRNA-based Covid vaccines should admit that they represent an important technological advance that has impacted not just the fight against infectious diseases but cancer, too. A universal mRNA vaccine currently in the works has shown great promise ...

I’ll take Kennedy’s word for it:

The DOD paid the pharmaceutical companies for their brand names so people would think they were getting something from Pfizer or Moderna — but all of the distribution and manufacturing is done by the military, Kennedy said. The pharmaceutical companies were brought in to put their name on it and then to pretend to do clinical trials, he said.

Nobel Prize? For our darkest hour?

A study from the Commonwealth Fund and Yale School of Public Health (2022) estimated that in the U.S., over 3.2 million lives were saved by COVID-19 vaccines through the end of 2022.

While not all of these lives can be attributed solely to Operation Warp Speed, the program played a significant role in accelerating the development, manufacturing, and early distribution of mRNA vaccines like Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

Ditto! It was a HUGE disaster! The less said by him, short of a heartfelt apology, the better.

So DoD and all of the pharms involved, their vaccine creators, the FDA are all in on the big conspiracy. What do you suppose that is in total? 1,000 people? Totally convincing.

“I meant the Covid vaccines.”

And that’s what I asked you about.

Astra Zeneca. Johnson and Johnson. Moderna. Pfizer. Novavax. They all made Covid vaccines.

But only two of them used mRNA to make the antigen. Did you think they all used mRNA?

Astra Zeneca is a viral vector vaccine. So is Johnson & Johnson. Novavax is a protein subunit vaccine.

Are they all bad? Do you know the difference between them?

“Ditto! It was a HUGE disaster! The less said by him, short of a heartfelt apology, the better.”

Why do you suppose that Trump continues to praise the vaccines and has never endorsed the idea that the vaccines are a disaster?

Does he not have access to all of the information you have? Does he have access to more? Is it possible that your opinion is the one that is uninformed and completely wrong?

Don’t you remember all of the so-called overwhelmed hospitals with their doctors and nurses doing their choreographed dances, while drowning people they had sent home for their illness to progress without any treatment whatsoever until they were essentially on their deathbeds and then those hospitals were paid money to drown them on ventilators? All the sick people sent into nursing homes rather than being put in empty special hospital beds set up supposedly to treat them? Outlawed prophylactics and then prescribed organ destroying Remdisivir?

You poor thing.

No, I don’t know the difference between the different Covid vaccines; it’s been a while. Nor do I know which ones didn’t use mRNA in those shots. I don’t recall being offered a choice among 4 Covid shots. I seem to remember one shot being pulled because of too many side effects. What’s your point? That they were all wonderful, had no side effects, and prevented people from catching Covid? That’s not accurate.

The problem is that no one was offered simple medications like Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquin at the outset of symptoms. Instead people were told to wait until they were deathly sick and then chucked into a hospital, and hospitals got paid extra for treating Covid patients with certain protocols.

Anyway, I don’t need to repeat the terrible history I saw with my own eyes.

Man. You really did swallow all of the kook Koolaid and can recite it from memory. Impressive!

“The problem is that no one was offered simple medications like Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquin at the outset of symptoms.”

Hydroxychloroquin was tried repeatedly in 2020 when hospitals were looking for anything that might work. They wrote up their reports at Pubmed for the whole world to see. Pubmed is where they got the idea to try HCQ in the first place. And Mexico and India handed out Ivermectin until seeing no benefit from it.

“What’s your point?”

Other than seeing if you’d acknowledge that you don’t much of anything about the vaccines? That was the basic idea.

No.

He owes the world an apology for that disaster.

Trump "trusted the science" and, like everyone else, was lied to by the scientists.

Giving awards for mRNA technology would be like giving the builders of the Hindenburg an award for rigid airship safety.

I can’t help it if you’re a fool. How many jobs did you take? Are you still taking them?

And yet he continues to defend the vaccine program. Why do you suppose that is?

“Giving awards for mRNA technology would be like giving the builders of the Hindenburg an award for rigid airship safety.”

And yet Robert Malone remains very proud of his contribution to it and has complained about not getting the recognition that Kariko and Weissman have received.

No, and it’s unlikely that you can help yourself for that condition. Limitations sometimes cannot be overcome.

Because he's too proud (in the "Seven Deadly Sins" sense of the word) to admit he was wrong.

So is Trump wrong on all of the Covid vaccines, or just the two using mRNA?
