Never Forget: Nobody But Trump Could Make a Vaccine This Fast
Mar 17, 2021
BRETT: Isn’t it incredible to look at the narrative that’s been put together by the Biden team over these last couple of months, arguing that the cupboard was bare. (impression) “The cupboard was bare! We didn’t have any vaccines. We didn’t have any of the stuff that was out there. We we we we came in and there was no plan for vaccination,” (laughing) and it is foolishness.
It is absolute foolishness to look at the contentions coming out from this Biden administration that they were left with nothing. Excuse me? Rush underscored how President Trump led the Operation Warp Speed process to making vaccinations widely available. Biden is not one responsible for making all this accessible to Americans and has openly criticized Trump. Last night in a Fox interview, he did the exact same thing.
In this excerpt from WBUR's coronavirus newsletter, we dig into the details of how the vaccine clinical trials were conducted, and what made the process so different from other vaccination programs.

Keta White is a Black health care worker at Germantown Home, in Philadelphia’s Mount Airy neighborhood. And she’s one of 13,000 members of District 1199C, a majority Black- and brown-led union that represents Black workers in all fields in the major health care institutions in the city behavioral, mental health, and child care facilities, as well as employees who provide health care services within the city’s prison systems.
At White’s nursing home, she works in the laundry department, sorting and delivering personal clothing to residents. Typically, Germantown Home accommodates 180 beds, but she said that at the height of the pandemic, 60 residents passed away after contracting the virus, one-third of the home’s elderly population.
