Just days after describing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views on vaccines as being “fake,” former U.S. President Donald Trump yet again praised his controversial and heavily criticized Operation Warp Speed. (Article by Stephen Kokx republished from LifeSiteNews.com) “I did a phenomenal job… I have a very important Democrat friend, who probably votes for me… he said Operation Warp Speed was one of the greatest achievements in the history of government,” Trump declared. Trump made his comments during an extensive interview with TIME magazine’s Eric Cortellessa in the middle of last month. The conversation was released in print form on April 30. The two discussed everything from abortion and law enforcement to foreign policy and a potential second term. The last three questions Cortellessa asked Trump dealt with his handling of COVID-19. Trump repeated what he has been saying ever since leaving office. “I energized the country like nobody’s ever energized our country,” he claimed. “The Democrats love the vaccine… only reason I don’t take credit for it. The Republicans, in many cases, don’t, although many of them got it.” As previously reported by LifeSiteNews, Trump has notoriously refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing on his part with the rollout of the abortion-tainted shot, which he has repeatedly defended, frustrating many of his most ardent supporters. During a campaign stop in Grimes, Iowa in June 2023, an audience member scolded him by asking, “what were you thinking,” noting that “we have lost people because you supported the jab,” a likely reference to the millions of persons who died as a result of the shot’s many adverse side effects, including its link to sudden death, myocarditis, pregnancy complications, and blood clots. “Everybody wanted a vaccine at that time,” Trump responded. “And I was able to do something that nobody else could have done, getting it done very, very rapidly. But I never was for mandates.”
