Donald Trump Estimates He Saved 100 Million Lives With the COVID-19 Vaccine
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 08/08/2021 2:16:35 PM PDT by D Times 3

Former President Donald Trump estimated up to 100 million people would have died from COVID-19 without his administration's efforts to spur the development of vaccines.

If not for Operation Warp Speed, which was the name of the Trump administration’s initiative to develop vaccines quickly to protect the public from the coronavirus, Trump said the health crisis death toll would be similar to that of the Spanish Flu pandemic more than a century ago.

"I think if we didn’t come up during the Trump administration with a vaccine you could have 100 million people dead just like you had in 1917. You take the Spanish Flu, 100 million people — up to 100 million people died. I think we’d be in that territory," the former president said in an interview with Fox News host Dan Bongino that aired Saturday night.

I read that several Dems last week or so were crediting Trump with the vax - a definite change in message.

That is worrisome to me as Dems would never credit Trump with anything good. So, i have to wonder, is bad news about the shots about to be made mainstream?

Again -

Trump is not talking about deaths directly from COVID-19 itself.

He is talking about the millions who would have died from the lockdowns, mask mandates, depression, suicide, dying from other illnesses because patients are too scared to go to the hospital (or the hospital would have mandated the vaccine which would have been far more deadlier than the vaccines now) and being victims of crime.

Of course, he is NOT going to say that specifically because he does not show his hand.

That's why he created Operation Warp Speed. To short-circuit the Great Reset. The lockdowns, masks, social distancing would have ALL LASTED FOR YEARS.

Folks, understand GAME THEORY.
Understand INFORMATION WARFARE.
We are not in conventional politics anymore, OK?

"I think this — I have to be a big vaccine fan, because I’m the one that got it done so quickly. Got it done in less than nine months; it was supposed to take five years. They would have never even gotten it done. So, I’m a big fan," Trump said on Unfiltered with Dan Bongino.
Thank you President Trump!

If the Pfizer, Moderna, etc., experimental CV19 “vaccines” were distributed all over the world then I would be inclined to believe DJT's 100M number.

On the other hand, he might have $aved taxpayers billions too if he had also pushed vitamins C & D3 along with zinc in 2020.

Insights welcome.

I agree with what you say. I love Trump, but this has been a problem for him. He needs to step up and admit these shots are not what he thought they would be.

He will lose votes over this and he can’t seem to see that.

He is starting to sound as dementiaed as Xio Xiden, aka sloJoe Biden.

What the Hell was your plan had COVID hit and you were POTUS?

You would have probably cheerfully gone along with what the Dems and media were hoping Trump would do - institute lockdowns and vaccine passports so their Antifa thugs can riot against it and shape the narrative that Trump is a dictator.

His timidity prevented the truth qabiout HCQ and Ivermectin from saving thousands.

Trump did tout natural remedies and promoted HCQ early on. He got laughed at and villified for it. But he is going to be proven right.

No matter what Trump said, no one would have believed him. People need to see for themselves what's going on and they'll wake up on their own.

You think the mass protests around the world would have happened had Trump not created OWS?

This is a masterful troll job. If the democrats give him credit they undercut Bidet. If they say he is lying, they have to admit they lied about the severity of COVID.

So I take he will take responsibility for all of the injuries and deaths caused by the vaccine.

“Obviously he picked 100 million out of thin air.”

NO. He is just extrapolating what Joe Biden has been saying would be happening worldwide if it weren’t for his talented vaccine roll out efforts.
