Operation Warp Speed was only possible because of technology developed under President Obama. Thanks, Obama!
However, Jake Tapper now credits Trump 🙄

What's more...after that in 2013, Obama also directed 25 million through DARPA to Moderna to research and develop mRNA vaccines.

Get your facts straight Jake Tapper 🤬

1. More important than giving credit

This shows that this vaccine was not developed "too quickly" as many detractors say.

It was developed over the course of a decade with only the specifics of the virus to be fought inserted at the very end.

7. You are absolutely correct. That is the information that needs to be out there.

It is groundbreaking and revolutionary technology, but it wasn't developed in a hurry with no regards for safety. It was done using technology that had been studied since a least 2013, and earlier I am sure.

15. Great point

19. This.

4. TY President Obama! Treasonous Psycho

didn't have ANY GD "accomplishments".. Tapper.. Stop Lying.. you idiot.

[TheRealNorth]

18. +1000

Quit coddling the Deplorables - telling them that the vaccine was a Trump accomplishment is not going to make them more likely to be vaccinated.

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. The Deplorable base is NEVER going to like u Tapper

so quit trying so hard.

[femmedem]

6. Tapper's messaging is a good way to get Trump's base vaccinated, though.

Whereas publicizing Obama's role will only harden the anti-vaxxers' stance.

[Walleye]

8. I kind of think that might be the point. Anything to get these fools to take the shot

[femmedem]

9. I agree. I think he was being strategic. eom.

[salin]

12. In red country - where the Delta is now 74% of recent cases - I hope it works

anything that will get some of these "resistors" vaccinated I can live with.

11. Jake Tapper is by far my least favorite CNN host.

Smarmy, self-satisfied, superficial and thinks he's cute. Approaches EVERYTHING from a rightwing perspective. I haven't watched him in months because he is offensive, but accidentally caught a little today. I noticed several obnoxious comments. Won't watch him again.

[ChrisF1961]

13. You're right

I’ve considered Tapper a right wing hack since his ABC days.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Actually, I think they were working on the MERS and SARS 1 viruses...

they just made some adjustments to the SARS1 vax they were working on and tested/released it.

[thesquanderer]

16. Obama's 2010 proposals listed there were good... but were they implemented? n/t

[TrollBuster9090]

17. Let's be honest. Jake Crapper doesn't have the BRAINS to lie.

He's just too stupid to realize that his 'both-sidersisms' are not journalism. But he definitely needs to be corrected.
