Two messages or intents here, IMHO.

I agree with you, that this will be the way that people wake up. Couldn't agree more, people (NPCs) are talking about it now. The other message, Trump boasting about how because of him the vax was deployed and it saved all these lives. In regards to that specific message, he's being tone deaf or I am missing the 6D chess move. He could have just not spoken to this aspect and I would have been fine. From what I gather, what was deployed for the vax was not what was intended and that MIGHT be the 6D chess move, when he is called to task and drops the bomb that the vaccine that was originally intended was switched, but that is pure speculation on my behalf.
