President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. He did something no one thought would be possible with Operation Warp Speed. He bent an infamously slow-moving bureaucracy to his will, creating public-private partnerships to develop, approve, and distribute the Covid vaccine in under a year. Vaccines can take a decade to develop. When America was in the eye of the storm, people were dying, and society shut down, Operation Warp Speed was nothing short of miraculous.
Under President Trump’s direction, the U.S. government mobilized the public and private sectors at a record pace to identify vaccine candidates, fund development, purchase doses in advance, and streamline the regulatory process — all without sacrificing safety. It was less than eleven months between the discovery of the virus and bringing the vaccine to market.
