For months, journalists, so-called experts, and verified Twitter users cast doubt on President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed and its efforts to push and facilitate the creation, production, and distribution of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, calling it “preposterous” and “impossible.” While Trump and Vice President Mike Pence remained hopeful and positive that a vaccine would be created in record time, many in the media and on the left issued premature “fact-checks” on the president and his administration from the beginning, cynically predicting that a successful vaccine was not in the near future and amplifying the calls of “experts” who agreed with their assessments.
