First, the Democrats told us the lockdowns were only going to last a few weeks, then they told us it would be years before a vaccine would be readily available to the public. And on both fronts, former President Trump proved them wrong. Not only did he fight against the lockdowns, saying it was going to cripple our economy, which it did. He also took the lead when it came to the vaccine and again, managed to do what the Democrats said was impossible. But now that Americans are getting vaccinated, key officials including President Biden, Dr. Fauci, and Dr. Birx all want credit for something they once opposed. 

Not one to let fake news become reality, former President Trump released a statement clearing the air on who was exactly responsible for the vaccine that is now saving millions of lives every day.

In the statement, Trump said, “We developed American vaccines by an American President in record time, nine months, which is saving the entire world. We bought billions of dollars of these vaccines on a calculated bet that they would work, perhaps the most important bet in the history of the world. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx moved far too slowly, and if it were up to them we’d currently be locked in our basements as our country suffered through a financial depression. Families, and children in particular, would be suffering the mental strains of this disaster like never before.”

As for Dr. Fauci, President Trump created a new nickname for the famous doctor. “Dr. Fauci is also the king of ‘flip-flops’ and moving the goalposts to make himself look as good as possible. He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China. I closed it against his strong recommendation, which saved many lives. Dr. Fauci also said we didn’t need to wear masks, then a few months later he said we needed to wear masks, and now, two or three of them. Fauci spent U.S. money on the Wuhan lab in China—and we now know how that worked out.”

And although Trump didn’t speak about President Biden, he was sure to mention another key official in the COVID-19 fight, Dr. Birx. He said, “Dr. Birx was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice. Her motto should be ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’ Who can forget when Dr. Birx gave a huge mandate to the people of our Nation to not travel, and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgiving — only to have them call the police and turn her in? She then, embarrassingly for her, resigned.”

In the end, Trump admitted to the incompetence of both doctors, saying, “I only kept Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx on because they worked for the U.S. government for so long — they are like a bad habit!”
