the top of the notables asking about Trump endorsing a covid vaccine, and not understanding why
the start
covid hits and is not a big deal, no more than the common cold
then all of a sudden it's killing all the old people so we need lockdowns
then the only way to remove lockdowns is to come up with a vaccine for the most at risk but it may take years
President Trump acts based off the information of the agencies responsible for such things, through a bill passed by congress. NOT an EO signed by President Trump to push/promote/mandate a covid vaccine.
"Operation Warp Speed, initially funded with about $10 billion from the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) passed by the United States Congress on March 27, 2020,[1] was an interagency program that includes components of the Department of Health and Human Services, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA); the Department of Defense; private firms; and other federal agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Veterans Affairs" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed
What would happen if President Trump went against the recommendations of all of the above agencies?
fast forward
The inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States took place on Wednesday, January 20, 2021
Executive Order 13991 of January 20, 2021
Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing
Sec. 4. Safer Federal Workforce Task Force.
(ix) vaccine prioritization, distribution, and administration
Below is a briefing based on the information gathered from task force of EO 13991
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/09/09/executive-order-on-requiring-coronavirus-disease-2019-vaccination-for-federal-employees/
SEPTEMBER 09, 2021
"I have determined that to promote the health and safety of the Federal workforce and the efficiency of the civil service, it is necessary to require COVID-19 vaccination for all Federal employees"
If you were scared of covid, Trump had a vaccine available under emergency use authorization and it was your choice to get it
Biden paved the way for mandates on his first day in office via EO and completed the federal worker vaccine mandate 9 months in
President Trump treated covid without a covid vaccine
Biden was on TV getting covid shot and boosters
Regret may cause some people to think irrationally, however the facts exist and they don't give a fuck about your opinion. President Trump never forced the vaccine on anyone. Biden EO'd vaccine requirements.
