Trump Dismisses COVID-19 Vax Safety Claims, Says He Saved 100 Million Lives
Former President Donald Trump has dismissed claims that COVID-19 vaccines are broadly unsafe while asserting that his own role in the development of the vaccines may have saved 100 million lives.
Trump touted the effectiveness of Operation Warp Speed, his administration’s program to accelerate the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics, during a Monday interview on the conservative podcast The Water Cooler.
Host David Brody asked the former president if he would “acknowledge” that the vaccines “were not as safe or effective as we were told by the medical community at the time,” after repeating a number of unsubstantiated anti-vaccine claims.
“I was able to get something approved that, you know, that has proven to have saved a lot of lives,” Trump said, ignoring Brody’s request to weigh in on the anti-vaccine narrative. “Some people say that I saved 100 million lives worldwide.”
Trump touted the speed of vaccine development under his program, saying that he was “able to get [the vaccines] done in nine months,” as opposed to what he claimed would have been “five years to 12 years.”
The former president said that it was “very important” to note that he did not order lockdowns or a federal vaccine mandate and had “never forced anyone” to get the shots. He also praised Republican governors for refusing mandates and lockdowns at the state level.
However, he singled out his potential 2024 GOP primary opponent Ron DeSantis for pandemic policy criticism, pointing out that the Florida governor had shut down his state “for a period of time.”
Brody then pushed Trump to declare whether he had “concerns about the safety concerns of these vaccines.”
Trump said that he “always” had concerns but argued that some “reports” were saying the vaccines were “the greatest thing that’s ever happened,” while those that claimed safety issues involved “relatively small numbers.”
“You have to understand, there are the pros and cons,” said Trump. “Some reports [say] that it’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened and we saved tens of millions of lives. Then you’ll read other reports [that] say there were some problems with the vaccine…but relatively small numbers.
“But you know, you have many reports that say the vaccines save tens of millions of lives,” he continued. “That without the vaccines you would have had a thing…where perhaps 100 million people died.”
Brody began the discussion on vaccines by claiming that a had been “sudden death spikes.” A popular but debunked anti-vaccine conspiracy video called “Died Suddenly” makes similar claims.
The host also pointed out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week said an early warning system had flagged an unconfirmed “safety signal” concerning a link between the Pfizer COVID-19 booster shot and strokes in the elderly.
Brody did not mention that the agency later determined that there was no link following an extensive review of data.
Monday was far from the first time that Trump has spoken positively about COVID vaccines, despite his position inspiring anger from some of his supporters.
The former president has at times seemingly attempted to avoid mentioning vaccines, possibly due to the shots remaining unpopular among Republicans.
“After China unleashed this deadly virus onto the rest of the world, President Trump and his administration worked tirelessly to secure medical equipment to save the lives of Americans who were infected,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement given to Newsweek. “Operation Warp Speed was a once-in-a-lifetime initiative that gave people the option of utilizing therapeutics if they wished to do so.
“He also fought against any attempt to federalize the pandemic response by protecting every state’s right to ultimately decide what is best for their people because of the unique challenges each state faced. In coordination with governors across the country, President Trump provided assistance and equipment as requested or if needed.
“By contrast, Joe Biden incomprehensibly failed to continue the Trump Administration’s successes he inherited, with more COVID deaths under Biden than President Trump in the same amount of time.”

Trump doing the math.
What a hoot.
DELUSIONAL. Trump is part of the Cabal y’all. He’s just part of the deception.
Yup. This erases whatever microdoubts I may have had left.
I don’t believe that for a second. He doesn’t seem to be a fast learner though.
A narcissistic blowhard. He knows, just can’t say it.
More like a full blown schizophrenic — living in his own little world. This mass murderer absolutely can’t be allowed back in politics.
Donnie is full of shit, he saved 100 million joos from not getting a huge bonus, maybe. Kiss that wall Donnie………
Don’t know what Trump said and don’t care. He had both houses of congress for 2 years and didn’t do shit. “Reality”show host lot of mouth and not much action.
But both Houses are blameless?
You have to grab their balls and twist. That means refusing to sign any continuing resolutions until you get what you want – like your main campaign promise… the wall. I knew he would fail when he signed the first CR in the Spring of 2017.
No berry twisters!
Samuel chapter 8
He could have appealed directly to his base and caused a bottom-up tidal wave of support for MAGA. But he’s a freakin swamp critter and was comfy in his own little den after he received some micro-push back.
Phuck Trump.
I’m all on board with Trump being a cunt, but you can’t forget who led those houses of congress.
How much can you get done with Cocaine Mitch and Paul Ryan as your “allies.”
See above. Balls…twist.

I’m embarrassed I own a red hat
Just a cultural artifact and piece of history at this point.
Apalling. This made his position on the vax even murkier, when it would have been a perfect opportunity to torpedo it. I don’t like this game anymore, who is good and who is bad. Its time for the other thing.
How to do the other thing…that is the question.
Earsplittenloudenboomer?
I have a conservative Republican friend who keeps trying to convince me that Trump is better than DeSantis. I won’t get into his lame arguments, but with this crap he said recently, Trump just absolutely turned me off from ever voting for his ass again. In 2020, I voted for the first time in exactly 20 years, and pulled the lever for Trump. I won’t make that mistake again, next time I’ll just stay home.
What you do speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you say. DeSantis is doing, Trump is spouting off at the mouth. Unless Ron D is the Republican nominee in 2024 (and I’m registered independent, so I won’t be helping to decide the primary), I’ll stay home and sit out 2024.
DeSantis is beholden to Israel, he is not the answer.
There is no answer, it’s Pepsi or Coke…I’ll drink water.
We are fucked.
Hefty percentage of Juice York City retires to Florida to pay taxes. DeSantis has to be their Guv also.
I do appreciate The Donald’s brief service as our bull in the DC china shop but MAGA has been burned. IMO, only a single state was made great again after this leg down. Hopefully some more will follow.
Maybe Ron will be our Gorbachev and begin Perestroika of this corrupt Praetorian empire.
I think our next president will be from the military.
One Colonel with a highly motivated MP brigade or two could adjust this mess by reserving a wall of the Pentagon courtyard for a week. That’s generally (no pun intended) how they sort things in the 3rd world. Does make for a boring next election season though 🙂
“Election” [sic]
FIFY
Some gay freak. Right.
Civilian
Holy Shit, I hope not.
You have heard that Catherine Austin Fitts and Dr. Mark Skidmore discovered 21+ trillion dollars stolen by the pentagon and HUD? Cash flows they found could conceivably indicate as much as 100 trillion stolen.
We’ll never know how far it goes because fedgov made their accounting “classified” during Trump’s watch to hide the *continuing* theft.
This regime has zero claim to legitimacy. It’s time to sweep it out of our country.
No choices, they are “chosen” for you. Only choice is NONE OF THE ABOVE
2023 = 1776

““You have to understand, there are the pros and cons,” said Trump.
“And i was Merely The Apprentice to the average

trump is a satanic piece of shit. he is the swamp; he is a mass murderer.
What an illiterate moron….
Trump is a human buggy whip.
Trump is one of those guys who can’t ever admit he got something wrong.
There exist high-level politicians [in the West] where that is not true?
Hanging out with Trump for a week would be a hilarious blast.
Afflack- Why? If you saw him without his orange coating…… you would know which actor he truly is.
Move over #FJB, bring on #FDT.
It won’t be only Biden being cursed out wherever he goes.
Make Reprisals Great Again!
He can’t admit when he’s wrong. Even talking out both sides seems to be causing turmoil in his mind. I’m not a Psyche doctor.
Either that or he might be CO.
Trump continues to make himself irrelevant by making absurd claims about a vaccine proven to be worse than ineffective, actually damaging and death causing. How can I vote for this man again?
Easy.
By trusting the promises of a politician, like you did the first time.
Or don’t vote for him and trust the promises of a different politician.
Here is a snippet from the David Brody interview with Trump.
https://gab.com/JustDudeChannel/posts/109705374867455209
IMO, Trump has to back the shot. He was raked over the coals for his ivermectin and “bleach” comments. He brought the shot in record time to the consternation of the libs at that time. In fact they were blaming him still for all the death numbers they were happy to report. It took Biden to save the day by last locking up our country and making examples out of the unvaccinated.
Fast forward two years and everyone wants to run away from accountability. They would love to pin all this on Trump but then they have to account for their own behavior. They can’t do that.
Trump knows his true believers won’t blame him for the abuse of the unvaccinated. That is really the unforgivable issue. He also knows that the media can’t blame him for the Covid mess without implicating themselves and the Dems.
He was raked over the coals for everything for 4 years. Didn’t matter what it was. And they are still after him.
But now he is denying the obvious. Intentionally. On purpose.
That is unforgivable.
Who knows how many people are jacked up, dead or ticking time bombs. We have no true idea, yet what we already know is catastrophic.
We have the mildest variant yet, but people keep dying out of the blue every fucking day, and it is not stopping.
But Trump’s 4D strategy is to just claim victory and ignore the elephant in the room?
Repeat after me:
Donald Trump can fuck right off.
trump did not bring out anything in record time and if he did it might be why it is so injurious and lethal. but operation warp speed was a LIE. a total jewish lie. darpa has been developing and testing this weapon for over a decade – the weapon planning goes back farther. that is why it appeared so quickly. no “vaccine” can be created and meet the fda requirements for “safety” in 9 months.
you are beneath contempt.
Sorry Trump… You screwed the pooch on that one.
Not only has Trump betrayed us/U.S. through ‘greasing the skids’ while paving the road for the greatest unfolding human genocide and economic collapse in the history of the world…he boldly and broadly lies to our faces and offers the way to the exit.
Slicing and dicing his words and actions to tell those who STILL back him…he saved 100 million lives!!!
Trump will one day be judged as a man who will make Benedict Arnold look like a small potato punk.

notice how trumpcunt is making the masonic 666 sign. he does it regularly. he is a satanist.
Can’t be betrayed if you don’t trust.
Anon-Or stuck with the depop-shot. They laugh like hell every time another thousand drop dead. They get a big bonus at a million. (((They))) want it all and they want the goy dead, can’t leave Donnie out.
bl,
why do you blame this on “they” when israel is one of the most vaxxed countries on the planet,along with the vaxx injuries that seem to be a component the vaxx ?
Because Tred, there are two kinds-o-joos. The brand that wants it all are white as you, they will jab a regulah joo in a heartbeat. We dun told ya and told ya that they are the joos who CALL themselves joos but are not. Everyone in charge of the depop-shot genocide is a joo, from Big Pharma to .Gov to NGO’s.
The (((they))) of whom I refer are WHITE EASTERN EUROPEANS. Please take off the blinders and look for yourself. Israel was just a temporary rental til they move into the mansion.
Tampa,

Mark- Tampa never lets it sink in. He’s a Trump guy to the end.
I think he may be the last Trump guy left.
I’d rather talk bullet ballistics than about his guy. I’m finished and never got started praise the Lord.
Trump was not betrayed by the people he hired. They did exactly what he wanted them to do.
Come on, GOAT, stop taking credit for these murders. They freakin’ used you. Get away from it.
Well President Trump I can accept and forgive a great deal attempting to not inform yourself with the absolute fact that ultimately these vaccines and boosters are ultimately the greatest crime against humanity !
Perhaps you should count up the dead and dying along with the disabled all who were forced as a condition of employment or out of trust took these now known deadly dangerous shots .
Stop inflating your ego and chill the narcissistic narratives and admit you followed the crowd of bad deadly information and you were wrong !
The fact so many MD PROFESSIONALS TRIED TO WARN EVERYONE AND WERE TOSSED ASIDE
NOW WHAT ?
Face facts…………cuntrump is a PARSITE PIECE OF SHIT !
This democrat is so stupid …………..he cant let go of the fake virus crisis lie.
All democrats out of new york city are pieces of shit.
cuntrump proves it.
And that is why Trump is no longer trusted by the majority of conservatives……
The problem is that he ever was.
People trusting a worldly savior will be let down. But most people feel a need to double, triple, quadruple down on stupid.
If Trump doesn’t apologize and own the fact the vax was a kill shot…well, he’s dead to me.
Trump? Ain’t that that queer who said he was gonna build a wall to keep the Mexicans out AND make them pay for it? How many wetbacks are we flooded with every month?
Seriously. Did this cocksucker do ONE THING he promised to do?
I mean, I know he killed a lot of Americans and what not but that’s not what his idiot followers voted for, was it?
Any fool can grab pussy and fuck shit up. Just look at Joe Biden! Seriously. Tell me there’s a fucking difference!
You’re right! I can do that job, and I’ll do it for only $350,000 / year. That’s a $50k discount.
“Pussy-grabbing, fucking shit up and I’ll do it for 350 G’s”
Iska 2024!
Also, Happy Cinco de Mayo. I love the Hispanish people.
You’ve got my vote.
I’ve got your slogan!
“I ain’t afraid to grab the old ugly ones!”
Trump is just another New World Order whore playing his part.
Best President Isreal ever had.
Trump. What a mess. Looking in the rearview mirror, I can’t help but posit that his role since 2016 was a scripted event. Most of us went to bed on election night, knowing that a real fica was to be president-elect the next day. Imagine our bliss waking up to find out it was another TV personality. Oy.
I can see it more clearly now; the chain of events that brought us to today. I can see his part in this. It’s not that I don’t believe the predator elites didn’t want Killary as their marionette(maybe), but seizing the opportunity that a narcissistic Trump brought must have appeared like a gift. There is nothing more malleable than the ego of a narcissist. I think he provided them with a golden opportunity.
By the constant barrage of negative press, the Trumpsters would help to polarize the country by supporting him, and the left would hate on him like hammered shit. Worked well, I would say. The rest is just paperwork. Four years of DAILY negative press was unheard of up until now. What an effect it had.
Granted, I enjoyed watching Trump piss the left off, his hyperbolic comments made me laugh. They weren’t letting him or us get away with it; they knew the plan. Everyone cheering Trump on was feeding the monster.
I used to think people were either ignorant or complicit. Now I think they are both. With mud in your eyes – or if you don’t have a mirror – you can’t see, and that’s ignorance. Now, you are free to drink the complicit kool aid. That’s Trump. He blew a good opportunity with the chicom fljoo; he could have called bullshit and upset the fucking apple cart, but his ego is bigger than his balls, and his words are empty. That was our moment, come and gone.
The only thing Trump provided me with during his term(and many of you I’m sure) was the opportunity to prepare for whatever comes next, and it ain’t good. No one is coming, it’s up to us. So far, all I see is the movement of words, not to be confused with action. I’m guilty too; but you eat an elephant one bite at a time.
I dislike making semantically retarded statements, but I can’t see my way to think anyone in politics is worth a plug nickel. Just look at your local city council, going all in for this bullshit trans agenda. You think they aren’t profiting from this in some way? You think that’s air you’re breathing? Now multiply that 100x, and you can see that no one is getting into higher office without owing someone. It’s the game they play, not us. Alright, my fingers are out of breath.
Nope. He definitely threw a few monkey-wrenches into the TPTB plans.
Which was the most he could do, and exactly what I was expecting as the best case.
Only with hindsight became it obvious to me how the elites (remember Hitlary’s “Putin is Hitler” in 2016 already) were itching for all-out war with Russia. Trump held all that up by redirecting opinion and resources towards China.
In 2017 Russia very likely would not have been ready to withstand the all-out economic sanctions.
Now does that excuse his “vaxx” stance?
No – at least not with what we know. (There are theories he blocked even crazier TBTP plans with the “vaxx” route, but too little supporting evidence for me to take them serious, so far.)
Well, Mr. Trump, you lose.
An appeal to Trump’s ego was successful. This is why he is a dangerous man. He needs everyone to think he is wonderful and will take the actions to make that happen. Whomever wanted this MRNA counter-weapon to be released convinced him to free up DOD to override the safety protocols and the patience that is needed before something this radical/experimental is approved. A leader who is less concerned about what people think of him in a national crisis (real or manufactured) would not have been so vulnerable to appeals to ego. He still cannot admit his tragic mistake.
Can we move on from Trump please? He will split the dissident movement.
What you did, Donald, was FOOL 100 million people.
People like me.
But, no longer.
It’s like this …… “BE GONE!!” ….. (Jesus to Satan).
Being the warp speed tool of Deep Shekels may have vast monetary rewards, but the perpetual bulls eye one places on their and their families’ back isn’t worth all the money in the world. There is nothing to admire about this clown. He’s never done the right thing in his life.
“Trump told reporters at the time of the killing that Soleimani was “plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him.” The claim was never confirmed, and according to then-Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, Soleimani was in Baghdad as part of an Iraqi mediation between Saudi Arabia and Iran.”

His handling of Snowden & Assange in the last days of his reign, when he needed no one’s permission to do the right thing, was the exclamation on his being a phony. His world is a circus where he is the ringleader surrounded by sycophants. No thanks.
This is just a replay of the J Edgar Hoover denial of the existance of the Mafia. Similar in every way. Trump has something to hide, and is being blackmailed.
aawwww the poor guy was betrayed by all the openly avowed communists he hired!?!? You need to send the guy some money to fight this corruption. Buy several of his digital warrior meme sets and don’t forget to pay with your trump gold card. do it
Trump is a clown and doesn’t stand a chance against someone with a real backbone.
“Debunked” how and by whom?
“Unsubstantiated” how and by whom?
And, PS: Trump is a fucking idiot.
Always was.
Ex-Friend of 40 years hated Trump with a major passion.
You couldn’t even mention his name unless it was to curse him.
Along comes Covid.
Ex-Friend who was anti-flu shot, jumps on the Covid train and takes the Trump jab.
Heard ex-friend is having health issues.
See how it works.

Trump aslo had the authority to fire fauci, and didn’t. Trump also ignored the ONLY real doctor of the task force, headed by pence later, who was asking the REAL questions.
Trump is too stupid or complicit with the satanic globalists. Either way he is unfit for command.
