Trump says he's 'very appreciative' and 'surprised' Biden thanked previous administration for helping make the COVID vaccine available to the public
Daily Mail ^ | 21 December 2021 | HARRIET ALEXANDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Donald Trump on Tuesday evening said he was 'very appreciative' of President Joe Biden paying tribute to his administration's efforts to create the vaccine - adding that he was 'surprised to hear it'.

'Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America is one of the first countries to get the vaccine,' said Biden. ...

...The 75-year-old - who on Sunday was booed when he confirmed he had had the booster shot - said Americans should be 'really happy' about having access to vaccines.

'When we came up with these incredible vaccines - three of them - and therapeutics, we did a tremendous job, and we should never disparage them,' Trump said.

'We should be really happy about it because we've all saved millions and millions of lives all over the world.'

Trump in May 2020 announced Operation Warp Speed (OWS) - a partnership between the Departments of Health and Human Services and Defense - aimed to help accelerate the development of a COVID-19 vaccine.

OWS has invested an estimated $18 billion, mostly in the late-stage clinical development and early manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines, and has agreements in place to buy 455 million doses.

The scheme is by far the largest of the global efforts for development of COVID-19 vaccines....

...Trump in December 2020 also signed an executive order that would ensure all Americans had access to coronavirus vaccines before the U.S. government could begin aiding nations around the world.

What a bizarre post. The fact is we are all in this together. Biden, for once, did something smart by recognizing the hard work of the previous administration and Trump for getting these life saving vaccines and anti virals.

Quit cheering on the virus.

The price I’m talking about is more the human one and lives lost.

However, I saw a post about Moderna stock the other day. Not sure if it’s true but it showed company stock going from $20-something to $449.

Obama couldn’t transfer all the wealth through his health insurance scam, so they had to find another way, possibly.

An acquaintance went to a local doctor to get exemption paperwork. He told her that more folks have died after getting the shots than every other vaccine combined. Info buried in the fine print at the CDC.

Yet I don’t see anyone asking these questions at news conferences.

Get yourself a tutor and maybe it can cure your lack of ability to comprehend what you read.

Thanks for your additional message and concern. I had college level reading comprehension skills while still in grade school so there is likely some other explanation for difficulties that others are having deciphering the intent of your messages.

You could clear it all up in this instance if you would let us know whether you believe that the “experimental vaccines” are safe and effective... or if you believe that the “experimental vaccines” have far more serious injury and death associated than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years and have lost most of their efficacy against the latest strains of the virus that cause PCR tests to indicate that people are “positive” for “Covid 19”?

They don't realize that they are the ‘vax kooks’. Sad really.

Looking through Pelham’s posting history, his messages often are cryptic when he is attempting to be witty but there is not a lot that we disagree on. I believe this weird phenomenon where normally conservative people are able to ignore all the available information on the efficacy and safety of the “experimental vaccines” is extremely revealing about their personalities.

When they first came out, the Covid “vaccines” caused a much larger amount of death and injury than is normally allowed. But the statistics derived from questionable data seemed to indicate that they would “save” more people than they would kill or seriously injure. The risks were of course downplayed by the media and authorities.

People like Pelham decided that the "vaccines" were a good choice. Obviously once he made the decision, he decided to stick with it regardless of whatever further contradictory information became available. Confirmation bias combined with a belief that changing one's mind reveals weakness is the most obvious explanation for his current position. At this point however we have all sorts of nonsensical decisions made by authorities that are getting further and further out of hand. As long as they are allowed to do so by a large number of compliant sheeple the situation will drag out much longer than it should. The amount of harm being done is astronomical for a large number of reasons that go far beyond any threat from Covid.

The poisons called COVID vaccines are not a success story.

DeSantis 2024.

I have always been a huge Trump supporter.

I still have total faith that he can do tremendous good working for America First policies, supporting great candidates, and putting together a Freedom of Speech media and technology empire.

Trump is wrong about the poisons called COVID vaccines.

DeSantis 2024.

I’m gradually losing respect for Trump, and in any event have now moved on to DeSantis.

I think in 2022 the left will have to finally acknowledge the vaccines don’t do anything, but in advance of the midterms their strategy will pivot to blaming Operation Warp Speed and Trump. And Trump who cannot resist a compliment is walking right into the trap.

“And when the vaccinated start paying a price for these shots, look for the entire narrative to shift blame to Warp Speed and President Trump.”

Yup, that’s where they are going with this.

It is always good to mind the wise words of Admiral Ackbar:
