The Trump administration pressured the Food and Drug Administration, including former FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, to authorize unproven treatments for Covid-19 and the first Covid-19 vaccines on an accelerated timeline, according to a report released Wednesday by Democrats on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

Alabama’s Kay Ivey Republican Governor talked about “regular folks” and “unvaccinated folks” in regards to the vax.

She didn’t have to point an accusatory finger like she did last August (2021) at the unvaccinated.

That woman won her primary this year but I would never vote for her if I lived in Alabama in November.

Trump wanted the jabs but did not do what this woman did so Trump is OK with me but this Republican Governor in Alabama should be ashamed of what she said.

Yes! Also, Birx has admitted to lying and we know Fauci halted all dissent in meetings. We must NOT let the left rewrite the history on this - which is exactly what they’re trying to do.

I read this tripe, Trump administration advocated Hydroxychloroquine and herd immunity, no mention of ivermectin.
Joe poopant mandated vaccination and killed many businesses while squandering a robust economy. What exactly are these idiots thinking by highlighting bidens and the cdc anti-Trump factions failures ?

She'll claim under oath that Trump grabbed her by the scarf and threatened her life.

I fear that the attacks on him over the vaccines will be pretty effective even among our own side.

Right, wrong, fair, or indifferent, much of the Wuflusanity began on Trumps watch. He should have DEMANDED that fair and objective studies be done on IVM and hydroxychloroquine because his gut was right - they were the most effective tool we had at the time - big pharma be damned.

There are many things we wish we could all go back and change but this is now my #1 - therapeutics (just like HIV/AIDS) were the best treatment. Same thing can be said for stupidly easy non-pharma treatments like vitamin D, vitamin C, quercetin, and zinc. People who were really ill should have been put on steroids. Fauci and his big pharma sponsors should be charged for his pushing of Remdesivir our “run death is here” as it was labeled by nurses. Even the WHO recognized the mistake with that ineffective and dangerous drug.

I am not saying this in hindsight either... many of us here on FR and in the medical community were saying the same things when the hysteria was at its worst.

It’s finally dawned on the administration that they can lay some blame for the vaccine disaster on Trump, but it’s way too late. They own it with their false proclamations that it’s safe and effective, and their mandatory vaccination orders. They will never be in a position to admit they were wrong, which they must do before accusing Trump and Operation Warp Speed for it!

Time for the articles with Joe “losing patience” with people rejecting the death shot 💉💉💉💉.

No. The derps will run away from the deadly poison fake vax, and all of a sudden it will all be TRUMP'S FAULT. That's what this article is trying to accomplish. More to come.

You don't have to be Q to have seen this one coming. But it helps.

“..authorize unproven treatments for Covid-19...”

The FDA had restrictions, regulations, time lines, and the like to cause years of delays before getting known treatments approved. Some were being successfully used in Europe, but FDA treated them as unknowns. Trump wanted to streamline the process.

Also the FDA was spending precious time and funding on vaccines and not much on treatment. Trump wanted to reverse that.

Trump was RIGHT to force alternatives (turns out these were correct).

Seems so, but then again I thought Russiagate!, the two impeachments, Jan6th, and the raid on his home are nonsense, yet the media ran with it all.

Yeah, I read this as “we’re about to admit something terrible about the vax so we need to make sure Trump is the one everyone blames.... lets leak that Trump cooked them up in his bathroom. No? Too much? Okay, leak that he forced the FDA to approve them.”

Of course Trump's administration pressured the FDA. This was known at the time. It was a national emergency! IT would have been negligent for Trump not to put pressure of FDA to allow experimentation over Covid.

At the time Covid started, nothing was proven, not even the vaccines which did not exist. HCQ and existing medications were the first to have treatment options.The CDC and FDA made sure that only their new vaccines would be accepted, and blocked all efforts to develop treatments of existing medications.

Given the success of the Zelenko protocol and the covered up side effects of the vaccines, miscarriages and death, what the FDA and CDC did was criminally negligent.

Undoubtedly. She'd claim anything under oath if it hurt Trump and advanced her own ambitions.

Didn't Trump put Pence in charge of the COVID task force?

I can see DJTs strategy now :)
