In July of 2020, I interviewed President Trump in the White House Rose Garden about the COVID Pandemic and Operation Warp Speed. He was very proud of Operation Warp Speed, and we agreed that when the vaccine first came out, we would take it together on camera.
That never happened, although we did both get vaccinated and boosted. I also reported on the dramatic first vaccines arriving at NYU Langone Health in early December, at a place where so many had fought COVID and many had tragically died.
The vaccine was a huge weapon in the fight against COVID, and it was Trump’s vintage public-private partnership that brought it to us.
He also said during that July interview “If I had my choice of vaccines or therapeutics, give me therapeutics every time, because I’d love to walk into a hospital and give everybody something, and they start walking out in two days.”
This too proved to be prophetic, as monoclonal antibodies and the antiviral drug Paxlovid were both developed rapidly. Both changed the course and the severity of the pandemic.
It is disheartening that what was a great historical public health accomplishment has deteriorated into a political battle over vaccines and the future of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At a time when Make America Healthy Again’s crucial focus on preventing chronic diseases in our children would seem to make CDC support services to the states more important, CDC is facing billions of dollars in cuts.
I spoke to former CDC director Dr. Mandy Cohen in an interview, and she expressed concern about CDC morale, following a shooting at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta where a man fired off more than 500 rounds. --->READ MORE HERE

Donald Trump’s health officials are planning to link Covid-19 vaccines to the deaths of 25 children.
The administration is to make the claim to a Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisory panel next week, according to reports.
The committee is responsible for determining which vaccines are recommended to the public and which are administered free of charge.
Mr Trump raised doubts about the efficacy of Covid vaccines for the first time at the start of the month. “Many people think they are a miracle that saved millions of lives. Others disagree! With CDC being ripped apart over this question, I want the answer, and I want it NOW,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Scientists have responded, insisting the vaccines have been extensively studied, including in children.
The administration’s finding that 25 children died after receiving the Covid jab is drawn from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a public database of self-reported side effects. The deaths have not been officially verified.
‘Proper investigation’
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary and a vaccine sceptic, has reshaped the CDC since joining Mr Trump’s cabinet. He dismissed the agency’s director, fired all 17 members of its vaccine advisory committee and replaced them with hand-picked allies.
The new panel will meet next week to consider whether to restrict Covid vaccinations to narrower groups and whether the jabs should remain free.
Mr Kennedy has already pared back federal guidance, with the CDC no longer recommending routine Covid vaccination for healthy children, teenagers or pregnant women. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
