As evidence of the dangers of Covid vaccines mounts around the world and the official narrative surrounding the injections’ alleged efficacy lies in tatters, Democrats and the establishment media are increasingly blaming President Donald Trump for the disaster.
In fact, Democrats in the House of Representatives just released a report blasting the Trump administration for putting “extreme” pressure on regulators to approve the controversial injection “on an accelerated timeline,” supposedly for political purposes.
Multiple left-wing media outlets trumpeted the committee report as damaging to Trump. Meanwhile, numerous conservative-leaning pundits and outlets warned that Democrats and the media were now trying to pin the blame on Trump for the escalating disaster associated with the Covid injections.
U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), who chairs the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, blasted the previous administration in a statement about the newly released report. Among other concerns, Clyburn slammed Trump for “plotting covertly with conspiracy theorists” and “bullying the FDA to change its vaccine guidance.”
“The Select Subcommittee’s findings that Trump White House officials deliberately and repeatedly sought to bend FDA’s scientific work on coronavirus treatments and vaccines to the White House’s political will are yet another example of how the prior Administration prioritized politics over public health,” said Congressman Clyburn in a statement.
The far-left Democrat, who loudly supported Covid vaccine mandates and repeatedly urged people to take the controversial shots, also claimed that “These assaults on our nation’s public health institutions undermined the nation’s coronavirus response.”
The report itself, titled “A ‘Knife Fight’ with the FDA: The Trump White House’s Relentless Attacks on FDA’s Coronavirus Response,” also includes harsh criticism for the Trump White House. Among other concerns, the Democrat-led committee blasted the president because he “repeatedly called for a coronavirus vaccine to be authorized before the November 3 presidential election.”
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, meanwhile, was “acutely focused on FDA’s timing for authorizing the first coronavirus vaccine,” according to the report. It goes on to say that Meadows had “multiple discussions” with the FDA boss and others about trying to move the vaccine approval along faster than FDA bureaucrats believed was appropriate.
Then-FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn reportedly told the congressional committee that even Trump himself was in on the effort. “President Trump expressed his desire for these to be approved as quickly as possible to save lives,” Hahn is quoted as telling lawmakers in testimony cited by the report, which also features tweets by Trump as evidence.
Specifically, the FDA’s proposed guidance to the pharmaceutical companies called for at least 60 days of follow-up data following the injections. However, that would have put approval after the election.
And so, “rather than endorsing FDA’s gold-standard review process for ensuring vaccine safety, Trump White House officials blocked FDA from issuing the formal guidance for multiple weeks, resulting in an extended showdown with the agency,” the committee report says.
“The Trump Administration’s nearly year-long crusade against FDA resulted in damaging consequences for the coronavirus response: Morale inside the agency cratered, and public confidence in FDA’s scientific integrity was shaken in the midst of a once-in-a-century pandemic,” the lawmakers’ report continued, as if Trump were the reason Americans do not trust the FDA or the government.
The House report also blasts senior Trump administration officials for trying to persuade the FDA to authorize hydroxychloroquine, a safe and widely used drug, as a treatment for Covid. According to the administration officials and their allies cited in the report, Big Pharma was standing in the way because if the very safe drug were approved for Covid, it would mean that the multi-billion-dollar vaccines could not get “emergency use authorization.”
The Trump administration did play a key role in getting the failed vaccine out. But of course, it was the Biden administration and Democrats that insisted on mandating it for federal workers, members of the armed services, employees of large companies, and anybody else they thought they could get away with targeting.
Those mandates came after months of prominent Democrats suggesting they did not trust the vaccine due to the Trump administration’s role in the process. And they coerced millions of people who otherwise would never have taken the shots into reluctantly taking them.
The New American magazine has been interviewing experts, doctors, scientists, and medical professionals concerned about the safety and the efficacy of the injection since at least January of 2021. The interviews and, in some cases, desperate warnings were viewed many millions of times.
In response, this publication and its interviews with leading experts were repeatedly censored, silenced, shadowbanned, clownishly “fact-checked,” and more by Big Tech companies following government and World Health Organization demands. Many of those urgent warnings have now been proven correct.
Indeed, today, even the federal government admits the injections do not stop transmission. And with VAERS data and other metrics showing unprecedented levels of death and debilitating adverse events associated with the shot, Americans are increasingly looking for answers — and accountability.
With federal Covid czar Anthony Fauci exiting the stage leaving behind a trail of lies, death, and destruction, the establishment behind the unprecedented devastation and lawlessness masquerading as “Covid response” desperately needs a scapegoat.
Infowars founder and host Alex Jones has been publicly calling on Trump, whom he featured on his popular show prior to the 2016 election and supported strongly throughout his term in the White House, to denounce the vaccines and apologize. So far, Trump has not criticized the shots, though he has repeatedly denounced the Democrats’ mandates.
The latest round of attacks on Trump comes as the highly politicized Department of Justice works on criminal charges against him, with DOJ allies in Congress and the media baying for the president’s blood. It follows previous efforts to take down Trump, including the Russia collusion scandal, two impeachments, January 6 allegations, and more.
The left-wing establishment press took its cue from the Democratic report and ran with it. “Trump White House exerted pressure on FDA for Covid-19 emergency use authorizations, House report finds,” blared the headline at Politico. “The report by House Democrats examining the pandemic says Trump officials sought vaccine approvals to sway voters before the 2020 election.”
Conservative media outlets are picking up the story, saying it appears to be an effort to blame Trump for the unfolding catastrophe. The Gateway Pundit was among the first to report it: “HERE WE GO: Far-Left and Mainstream Media Blame Trump for Vaccine as Vax Dangers Come to Light.”
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, by far the biggest cable news host in America, ran a segment headlined, “Democrats are trying to shift blame about the COVID-19 vaccine to Trump.” The descriptor reads: “Tucker Carlson exposes the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine — and how Democrats are now blaming Trump.”
In the segment, Carlson suggests Democrats are “panicked” about being blamed for the “single largest public health disaster in history” and are trying to “shift the blame to Donald Trump before the full truth about the vaccine comes out — and it is coming out, with the midterms on the way.”
“We’re relieved,” Carlson added. “Now that Donald Trump is responsible for the vaccine, we can finally talk about the vaccine…. Now that Donald Trump is officially responsible, we can tell the truth about the vaccine without being fired, attacked, or thrown off the Internet.”
Of course, Fox News also played a key role in marketing the injection and suppressing concerns about its safety and efficacy.
Carlson then went on to highlight data linking the injection to soaring death rates, especially among young people. The Fox host also cited data showing that vaxxed and boosted individuals are more likely to be hospitalized and die from Covid than those who declined the injection. Immune, heart, and reproductive systems in vaccinated individuals are also on the decline, he said.
Writing in his popular World Affairs Brief, analyst Joel Skousen suggested Trump may seize on this to hit back now that Democrats are seeking to use the vaccine fiasco against him. “It wouldn’t surprise me if he blamed Fauci and Birx for deceiving him,” Skousen wrote while reminding readers that Robert F. Kennedy had briefed Trump on the dangers associated with vaccines.
Liberty-minded pundit Wayne Allyn Root, meanwhile, defended Trump, saying Fauci, the CDC, the WHO, the Biden administration, doctors, Big Pharma, and the media were “100%” to blame. “Trump was the CEO of America,” Root said. “He’s not a doctor, scientist, or medical expert. He was lied to by Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, FDA and a bunch of evil, greedy Big Pharma executives. Trump was defrauded just like the rest of us.”
Indeed, making Trump the fall guy for this enormous Deep State operation is the height of dishonesty. Of course, the president should have known better than to trust Big Pharma and its corrupt agents within the federal bureaucracy. But a true investigation is needed to find out who knew what, when — and who should be held criminally accountable.
