Trump Says He Would Mobilize Military To Distribute Coronavirus Vaccine When It's Ready
CBS ^ | 05/14/20 | KATHRYN WATSON

Posted on 05/15/2020 5:18:55 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Trump says he would "rapidly" mobilize the U.S. military to distribute a coronavirus vaccine once it's ready, focusing first on nursing homes and the elderly most vulnerable to deadly complications from the virus. Mr. Trump made the comments during an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo. 

"We're mobilizing our military and other forces but we're mobilizing our military on the basis that we do have a vaccine. You know, it's a massive job to give this vaccine. Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year we're going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly," the president said. 

"We will have a tremendous force because assuming we get it, then you have to distribute it," he added. "And unless you're mobilized and ready, you're not going to be able to do it for a long time. So we're starting now."

You should have stopped yourself from accusing the President.

If Alex Jones is your leader I would panic too!

Did you see President Trump talking about it. It is at the beginning of the video!

How can you not say President Trump did not say that? Haha!

Did you see this from the Pentagon,

“By immediately upgrading a sufficient number of existing domestic BFS facilities with installations of filling-line and technical improvements, “Jumpstart” will enable the manufacture of more than 100 million prefilled syringes for distribution across the United States by year-end 2020.

The contract also enables ApiJect Systems America to accelerate the launch of RAPID USA manufactured in new and permanent U.S.-based BFS facilities with the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes (doses) in 2021.”

Ditto I haven’t had the flu in 25 years. I don’t take the flu shot and I’m sure not taking the covid vaccine.

President Trump has been on Alex Jones show.

Anyhow, the video I sent you has President Trump saying it at the beginning. If you watched the video for 1 minute at the very beginning you would know this.

What do you think he is talking about the military and vaccines for?

No Alex Jones is against that.

I linked that video from Alex because you can see a video of President Trump saying it himself.

You can play this little word game and live in denial. But that is what President Trump said. CBS reported it too.

President Trump says it and you try pretend he did not say it, and make it all about Alex Jones. Who is against forced vaccination.

Common man quit playing word games.

I can’t represent myself as a “vaccine denier.” Having grown up in the Air Force and over the course of 20 years in the Army and multiple deployments, I got more shots than I can possibly count; I had three of those little yellow vaccination booklets full of stuff I couldn’t identify. I suffered no ill effects from most of them, but I also had to take mandatory flu shots every year and every damned one of them made me very sick and, in most years, I got the flu anyway, all of which is reflected in my medical records.

I’ve taken no flu shots since I retired from the Army 25 years ago and I’ve had the flu four times. So, at this point in my life, to say that I’m eager to take a quickly-developed vaccine for something that’s only mildly worse than the flu would be incorrect.

We have been warned this would come by the conspiracy theorists. They were correct.

I disagree with you on that. I think the conspiracy theorist track record remains unchanged.

Thought this was fake news until I saw President Trump saying it here.

Fake-ish. I think Trump's exaggerating a bit. We don't have a vaccine yet. And I don't see a role for the military to play in the distribution of it.

Here is the quote from the begining of the video with President Trump.

 

"We're mobilizing our military and other forces but we're mobilizing our military on the basis that we do have a vaccine. You know, it's a massive job to give this vaccine. Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year we're going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly," the president said.

Yes you are correct. Fauci has Trump under his control.

Did he say anything about forced vaccines or is this more Fake News?

He made a vague and confusing off-the-cuff remark about using the military to distribute a vaccine that may never exist. Left so much gray area that speculation can run all over as to what he really meant.

My most charitable interpretation is that if a vaccine is found he would not trust the f***-ups at the CDC to distribute it efficiently.

I grew up as Air Force brat and got plenty of shots and vaccines. When I joined the Marines I even received a lot more shots.

I use to take the flu shot ever year and still got sick every time. Typically 3 to 4 times a year. I quit taking it in 2008 and have not ever since.

I did change up my diet and intake a lot nutrients. I have not been sick in 12 years and not even getting the common cold that I use to get 3 to 4 times a year ever year my entire life.

I was originally pro vaccines for a good part of my life. I trusted what I was being told and never really looked into it.
That was until I did the research, and decided I am not doing it anymore.

Here is my issue with all the pro vaxxers. If you have the vaccine, then you do not have to worry about the people that do not have it. Trying to force people, against their will, is medical tyranny.

I have no issue for anyone that wants to take, then go for it. However, the people that do not want to take it. Leave them alone. If you had a vaccine, then anyone without one is not a threat.

Why are you being so naive? He said it, watch the video. I swear some of you are turning Trump into a demigod and it’s sickening. He’s a fallible man and he says and does dumb things all the time.
