Stephen Miller, an ex-White House senior advisor, claimed on Friday that Donald Trump would have an Omicron variant vaccine if he were still President.
Miller was on Fox News’ “Hannity”Friday’s guest host Tammy Bruce joined Miller in a discussion about vaccinations and Omicron, the latest variant. Miller did not hesitate to jump on the Trump train for Saywhat? Ville.
“COVID is becoming endemic. It is going to continue to mutate; it’s going to continue to evolve; it’s all around planet Earth,”He said. “If President Trump was still in office, by the way, we’d already have modified vaccines to deal with the new variants.”
He said, “President Trump brought us vaccines in record times, which he made voluntary — not mandatory — and he’d have updates too.”
For the record, “Omicron”(B.1.1.529) This variant sounds like one the evil Decepticons of the “Transformers” movies, Was first reported to World Health Organization(WHO), South Africa, Wednesday. Omicron was however, designated by WHO as a “variant of concern”This Friday. It takes just 24 hours to create a vaccine against a variant.
According to Newsweek, “It took the Trump Administration 11 months to develop its first COVID-19 vaccine after the first confirmed case emerged in the U.S. on January 20, 2020. Trump authorized the speedy development of the vaccine under Operation Warp Speed, but it wasn’t available until December 17, 2020.”
Miller said that Trump is a “true” person without citing any sources or facts. “emphasized therapeutics and treatment that’s completely off the table now.”
“As you’re seeing variant after variant and new strain after new strain, at some point, you have to put serious scientific effort into treating the illness both with serious medications like antibodies, as well as more common over-the-counter medications that may be shown in clinical studies to have a positive, provable statistically-significant effect,”He said.
In speeches and social media, Trump has promoted unproven COVID-19 treatment options such as hydroxychloroquine (chloroquine), azithromycin, and remdesivir. A study published in the Lancet medical journal in May 2020 found that the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine – which Trump urged his followers to use – “was tied to an increased risk of death in hospitalized COVID-19 patients,” Reuters reported.
During a White House coronavirus task group briefing in April 2020 the former president suggested that it be investigated whether coronavirus could possibly be treated with an injectable disinfectant. In May 2020, AAPCC released statistics showing that accidental poisoning from household disinfectants led to 121% more deaths than in April.
