Thank you President Trump for Operation Warp Speed and getting a vaccine in record time for those that need or want to take it.

You do know Pfizer did not take any R&D money from the Warp Speed funding program don’t you? Pfizer and it’s German partners developed their vaccine all on their own dime. So much for US corporate subsidies, all those billions and a foreign company got there first without them.
It only has a supply contract with the US that is funded by Warp Speed.

First place google brought up is the National WWII museum.
They list approx. 418,000 US military deaths during WWII.
None of this means a damn thing anyhow, since if you truly believe >300000 dead from covid you are completely delusional. We’ll never know true number but rest assured it is but a fraction of what they claim.

Sure I do - re-read what I wrote. You do know that Pfizer didn't create this vaccine out of the kindness in the hearts don't you?
However, I guess we can take that $2 Billion vaccine contract back and let them find someone else to purchase and distribute their product. I had no idea Pfizer was the only one delivering product either.......weird
Thank you Donald Trump.

You sure do like to rant and assume a lot of things about people. I'm sure that all the doctors that filled out death certificates and the CDC are against your opinion because they just don't like Trump.
Dude, you're delusional. Don't you know the experts told us a vaccine by the end of the year was impossible. I saw it on CNN.

Ollie, Ollie,
Pfizer made a vaccine to sell it. And they did it WITHOUT Operation Warp Speed's seed money and delivered it first to the US Market (before any of the companies that did take the R&D money). President Trump, the Administration, or the rest of the US Government had nothing to do with it. You should be thanking the management, shareholders, and employees of Pfizer for this success story. You know the people who actually did the work.

Indeed - my question was rhetorical. God Bless Capitalism!! Again, what part of my original post has you the most confused? It's real easy to look up Operation Warp Speed from the HHS site. Not sure where the confusion is? Here's a link. https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/explaining-operation-warp-speed/index.html
Thank you Donald Trump. They said it couldn't be done and potential President Harris said she wouldn't take it.

Yes....and Democrats would never take it. If the Harris Presidency goes though, I give it 6 months and she will take full credit for Warp Speed. The Ministry of Truth is strong with Democrats.

I am confused by the strange logic you are employing. This is what you wrote:
"Thank you President Trump for Operation Warp Speed and getting a vaccine in record time for those that need or want to take it."
The billions of tax payer dollars spent by Warp Speed have not yet paid off. There is no Warp Speed financed vaccine available. The only available vaccine in the US today was developed by companies outside of the US that did not take the Warp Speed money.
So as of today, Warp Speed has delivered nothing, nada, zip, & zilch! Pfizer and their partner did it all on their own.
Trump had nothing to do with it. Trump's efforts did nothing to get a vaccine in record time. Records go to the winners, not the also rans. But in a couple weeks if Moderna's vaccine gets through the FDA process, you can congratulate President Trump and his program for being second.

They said it couldn't be done. They said they wouldn't take it. They said it was reckless. They said you couldn't deliver. (although dementia Joe plagiarized by saying he'd doing the same thing) Thank you again.

Weird, so Operation Warp Speed "DIDN'T" just receive thousands of doses, and coordinate logistics for said doses to states across the country? I suppose Operation Warp Speed didn't cut the bureaucratic red tape to get these out sooner than later either? This would have just happened by osmosis.

Hey Ollie, get this....I can be vaccinated tomorrow if I want. I live in a little town in north WI or bumfuck something or another, as the city boys call it. How can this be? I hope I didn't cut in line when I was drinking.....maybe I know someone at Pfizer but just can't remember
So if these anit Trumpers actually did their research as to why vaccines take so long to develop and get to market a lot has to do with funding, R&D, manufacturing, and corporate priorities. Operation warp speed guaranteed a market -- gave Pfizer a contract they could use to expand operations and what not. It cut the risk considerably which helps companies move forward (kind of like banks "lending" free money). Then the had a hand in the distribution.

Frankly, the only people who fkd the thing up was the FDA waiting weeks while the UK and Canada approved the Pfizer vaccine first. We continue to wait on Moderna's even though that's ready to go as well.
Business guys like Trump know how to cut thru BS to get things done. It's actually what makes them frustrated when they join the government.

What part of Pfizer did not participate in operation Warp Speed, other than to sell their independently developed Vaccine to the US via it, do you misunderstand? Pfizer developed their vaccine on their own with no input, financial or otherwise, from the US Government.

Thank You Donald Trump
July 22: HHS announced up to $1.95 billion in funds to Pfizer for the large-scale manufacturing and nationwide distribution of 100 million doses of their vaccine candidate. The federal government will own the 100 million doses of vaccine initially produced as a result of this agreement, and Pfizer will deliver the doses in the United States if the product successfully receives FDA EUA or licensure, as outlined in FDA guidance, after completing demonstration of safety and efficacy in a large Phase 3 clinical trial, which began July 27th.
With the exception of a $2B contract with FDA approval.

It's only because of Pfizer apparently.Hey Ollie, get this....I can be vaccinated tomorrow if I want. I live in a little town in north WI or bumfuck something or another, as the city boys call it. How can this be? I hope I didn't cut in line when I was drinking.....maybe I know someone at Pfizer but just can't remember
I know where you are. You're lucky to get Amazon deliveries.Dang...I'm more surprised there's any bars open for you to get drinks.
When I was up there a couple weeks ago, only place I could get a beer was at Adventures until 8pm, outdoors. Ended up at my buddies townhome/condo in Pikes Bay.
