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 ...

Sanity, is my condition. Yours, surrender monkey syndrome.
He was wrong rushing the lot, including most especially the mRNA injections and the J&J DNA injection. He was wrong putting Fauci in charge; he was wrong standing by while Fauci et al. drove many people, including probably you, into a panic of “social distancing”, mask wearing, shutting down the economy, and lying about it all. The Great Wuhanic Panic of 2020 was precipitated by the Trump Administration ... and you know perfectly well where “the buck stops”. That we were being lied to, egregiously and systematically, about the Wuhan China Virus was obvious by mid-April 2020.
Other than seeing if you’d acknowledge that you don’t much of anything about the vaccines? That was the basic idea.

Ha! I see. I am happy with how my family and friends handled the Covid panic. It worked for us. I hope your way worked for you and your family. No one should have had to endure a bioengineered virus.
By the way, I think people should have had a choice about whether they wanted to take the experimental Covid vaccine. This caused so many problems for people, like losing their jobs and/or being shunned by friends. It was not the people who chose not to be vaccinated who forced their opinion on others; it was the other way around. Some even wanted unvaccinated people not to get treatment if they caught Covid. It was a very dark time in our modern history. I hope we learned lessons from it and that it will never happen again.
