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 administrationâs 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 didnât 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 â up to 100 million people died. I think weâd be in that territory," the former president said in an interview with Fox News host Dan Bongino that aired Saturday night.

There were three waves. Spring of 1918 was the first, fall of 1918 the second, third was winter of ‘18/spring of ‘19.

I have no way to prove or disprove the number claimed, but to be sure Operation Warp Speed saved a lot of people around the world.
The vaccines are not perfect and there have been more problems with these vaccines than others produced at a slower pace.
Be informed and make your own choice. The government should not make you take experimental medicine. See Screen Name.
It’s almost funny though that Democrats went from saying they wouldn’t take any medicine developed via Donald Trump, to now supporting a totalitarian Down-Down-Up policy. (Chase ‘em down; Hold ‘em down; Shoot ‘em up.)
So Trump is good at making up numbers too. When it fits his ego. The real numbers don’t come close to supporting this. In fact more people may have died or become seriously disabled because of the vaccine.
“ This is key to understanding “what the heck is going on”. Apparently in Israel, I am told by Israeli scientist, the agreement between Pfizer and the government is that no adverse events from the vax are to be disclosed for a minimum of 10 years.”

jeez, trump gets a pass here. and check your weird fangurl swooning at the door.
I will still vote for him because he has not said he would mandate it. I know a few others that have just given up on him.
That said, this was his biggest failure. He once again listened to the wrong people.
Sometimes I wonder whether Trump posts things like this to help the loyal Trump supporters identify the NeverTrumpers on sites like FreeRepublic.
Right...and as a man who knows his History well, I can’t figure out why he keeps referring to it being in 1917? Puzzling lol
current president biden put the brakes on former president trump’s operation warp speed when he opened the border, invited, welcomed, and continues to spread thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic”...
i don’t trust our current government recommending anything to stop the spread of anything while they’re spreading everything across our country...
the corvid vaccine is just a feather for the elephant in the room that wants to fly. I really think that trump doing the vaccine was a plan B when all of the treatments Trump mentioned were attacked. I think lock downs would of won out becouse of the panic that was going on.
Why is President Trump pushing me away? I don’t understand.
I believe in President Trump. He loves America and wouldn’t do anything to hurt Americans. If he is a fan of the vaccines then I am too.
I wish President Trump would shut up for a while.
Precisely. He’s controlled opposition. Maybe not perfectly controlled, but close enough.
yes, he’s sending you secret messages that only you can decipher.
good on ya. that’s using your own judgment.
there is literally zero chance of that happening.
He should just stop now.
