Good point. If you're the one who burned down your house, maybe you shouldn't take credit for helping to fight the fire?

White House scoffs at idea Trump deserves credit for vaccines, saying half a million Americans died under his watch


“I don’t think anyone deserves credit when half a million people in the country have died of this pandemic,” replied Ms Psaki.

The Biden White House was critical of the Trump administration’s rollout plans when it took office with the goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days.

They are currently on schedule to beat that mark by weeks, and Mr Biden has said that they will have enough vaccine doses for every adult American by the end of May.

Biden would not done **** if it’s under his watch. What the heck he is going to do? Declare Marshal Law and force quarantine all the covid infected Americans? Shut down the economy for a year? What?


But if we are going to use your argument, does that mean Biden is responsible for 100k covid deaths since he took over?

387K died between February 2020 and January 20, 2021. It then became Biden’s watch. As of yesterday 535K have died, this means between January 21, 2021 and today, March 5, 2021, an additional 148K Americans have died. So, 62% of the deaths belong to Trump’s 11 months and 38% belong to Biden’s 1.5 months. Based on Ms. Psaki’s criteria, Team Biden doesn’t exactly have much in the way of bragging rights themselves.

Can you give me a link where Trump told his followers not to wear masks?

So I'm not saying Trump should go full on authoritarian and make everyone where masks all the time. But if he enouraged it, hell made it seem like it was a republican stance to mask up and wear MAGA masks to show how much more responsible republican are than the "*******s", he might be president today.


Instead, while people died, he did this:









He never took the pandemic seriously, that's why he lost.
It’s really as simple as that. He could have saved the country all the additional suffering he caused too, if he had simply acknowledged this clear fact instead of peddling the big lie.

He did what? Danced? Oh, the horror!!!!

Also, he is out in the open air, on stage, and nobody near him. Are you the kind of mask freak who wears mask while driving by yourself?

What did he do?

He blabbered about them.

so freak'n what.

Moderna is the only one that used his handouts.

Honestly, none of the pharmaceutical companies needed the handout. They would have dove all in on the vaccine anyways. They are making money on this big time.

Pres. Trump formed and ran "Operation Warp Speed", which got govt restrictions and paperwork out of the faces of the companies developing the vaccines. As a result, we had several vaccines thoroughly tested, available and in full production in a year or less. And people are getting shots for them right now.

Would Biden have done that?

If vaccine companies were left to do it "the ordinary way", we would have had to wait at least 2-3 more years before we could start getting "Covid-19 shots".

At a rate of 500,000 Americans dying per year without vaccines, how many more Americans would have died before a Biden administration finally let a tested vaccine be distributed?

A million or more Americans, would have died.

For some reason the scoffers now in the White House never mention that little fact.

Other foreign leaders are saying the vaccine won't be available until next year.
Also, FDA under Trump cuts all the bureaucracy and red tapes to let the vaccines inject into the arms of Americans.
