Countless critics in the mainstream media have remained silent as the coronavirus vaccine continues to roll out across the country.
Hardly anyone is giving President Donald Trump his credit for the “modern miracle.”
After all, it was the President who told Americans that it would arrive near the end of 2020 — which was mocked by late night comedians, the mainstream media, and even some of his own medical team.
But in the end, thanks to Operation War Speed it only took nine months to start distributing the lifesaving shot.
And seemingly no one is talking about how Trump was right all along… until Thursday night, that is.
In an unlikely admission, Joe Biden of all people praised Trump’s successes during his latest appearance on “The Late Show” with liberal host Stephen Colbert.
“I think what he’s done, getting the vaccine moving, has been positive,” Biden confessed to Colbert. It was a stunning change of tone after the two publicly butted heads along the campaign trail over the pandemic and clashed about how to bring the U.S. out of the skyrocketing infection numbers it has been experiencing.
The FDA has approved the Pfizer vaccine, and this week marked the rollout of vaccines nationwide to healthcare nurses, nursing home employees and patients, and others most susceptible to the virus.
According to reports, an FDA advisory panel has also recommended a second Moderna vaccine which experts are predicting will soon be officially approved.
Trump has himself has praised the work of “Operation Warp Speed” for the dramatic progress.
“Through ‘Operation Warp Speed,” my administration provided a total of $14 million dollars to accelerate vaccine development, and to manufacture all of the top candidates in advance,” he said, in a message from the Oval Office. “This included a nearly $2 billion dollar investment in Pfizer to produce 100 million doses of their vaccine, with an option to produce 500 million additional doses.”

So it’s safe to say that the Trump administration has been hard at work.
But don’t hold your breath for the mainstream media to take notice.
