My thoughts are based on working and dealing with people who took the jab. They are PHd's at or retired from the national labs, high ranking retired military personnel, and seasoned technical professionals at my current organization.

They all have total confidence in our medical system and trust that it and all vaccines are safe and effective. No questions asked. That is exactly how they think.

So, I believe, Trump and his team knew that a large majority of brain smart, but ignorant people would dismiss them if they did not push out a pro-vaccine position.

This gave them their wishes and the rest of us could make a choice by being or becoming "not ignorant people".

Operation Warp speed provided the discerned with choice and the brainwashed/gaslighted with permission to behave as they will, while remaining (at least somewhat) patriotic.
