'Operation Warp Speed' Chief On Timeline To Distribute Covid Vaccines From Moderna, Pfizer

  1. Hope it works, if it is distributed in an unsafe manner or is not proven things will get worse, have patience.

    1. You can never know what’s truly in the vaccine. That’s why so many people wont take these mystery shots

    2. Vaccines contain a weakened form of the virus. This could be a protein, DNA, RNA or something else. The idea is to expose the immune system to something that looks a lot like the real virus, but will not cause infection. The immune system will “learn” how to fight the virus by building the appropriate antibodies that will incapacitate the virus. Once vaccinated, when you encounter the real virus, your body has a big head start for fighting it.

      Yes, there are side effects from vaccines and not everyone can get vaccines. Please talk to your doctor about whether they recommend the COVID vaccine for you. We have clinical trials for a reason and the vaccine is not going to cause issues for most people.

  2. Also why are the vaccine contracts classified? This is public money, shouldn’t the public see what they are paying for?

    1. Kaka t***** alone oversaw the stimulus distribution and won’t account for 3 or 4 hundred million dollars of it. Money that did not go to Americans or to big companies.

    2. Moderna UK company no funding by USA. PFZER a NY company did NOT take money from USA.
      No one trust USA.

    1. Alas, it may be all about Wall Street. If you have the money, go out and buy Pfizer and Moderna stocks. This has very little to do with the 240,000 lives lost and tbe 10 million cases. It has everything to do with profit. When Pfizer or Moderna once the vaccine is fully vetted offer it for free, or minimal $ like 10.00, I’ll believe they are dedicated to helping their fellow citizens.

  3. Operation Warp Speed seems to be delivering 25m shots per month. For a pop of 330m that’s a little bit pathetic – another Trump Baby cluster.

  4. Operation warp speed is moving so fast that its movement cannot be detected by the human eye. Looks like it hasn’t moved at all.

  5. The question is not when the most critical persons will be vaccinated (who decides that btw?) however to put the brakes on the virus you need to talk about general distribution and NOBODY is saying before Mar/ April. He is misleading the public. It makes one shudder to think one could arrive while the ex-President is in control.

    1. @Diabolus_Musica So you are saying they can get reinfected? If so, then what would be the point of a vaccine? Also, are you delusional about our impending debt and currency crises?

    2. @Tosca Tattertail The whole country is borrowing at the moment, especially the federal govt. Our debt situation has been headed for a cliff for 20 years now.

    3. @Fred It wasn’t fun for me, but the chances of dying from it are very low. Even most of the people over 80 who get it manage to live. Stop with the fearsmongering.

    4. @Joseph Peeler I think the answer to your astute question is: Trump can’t be immune because Trump; nobody can become immune from the current, expedited vaccines because Trump; but the miracle vaccine which defies the prior logic will come from the Biden Administration and save us all because CNN and the Dems say so (and because it’s no longer Trump). What I really can’t figure out is whether these Leftist lemmings are really dumb enough to believe all this or they’re just ideological liars with no real regard for public health.

  6. Bla Bla Bla.. Trump admin trying to claim kudos for vaccines.. The only thing Trump should be claiming is the election loss…
