Donald Trump and the Vaccine
President Trump is once again drawing attention to the COVID-19 vaccine(s)–not as a cheerleader full of pomp and seeming arrogance, but as the man who built the stage they were rolled out on, and who is now questioning that very foundation.
“I hope Operation Warp Speed was as ‘brilliant’ as many say it was. If not, we all want to know about it, and why?” he posted this week.
Do you see what he’s doing here? That clause “If not…” is a tiny crack in the façade. It is perhaps the point of the whole post, a “weave” as Trump himself has identified it, a reality beyond the simple, seemingly insignificant wording. It likely signals what millions of Americans will one day be forced to admit–that the so-called “conspiracy theorists” were right on this one, too.
As an aside–an important one–remember that this is all narrative warfare. Trump is pushing the narrative in a different direction here when he could have done it at any other time. There is a strategy here that matters, even though we might not know what exactly that strategy is just yet.
The evidence was already in plain sight from the beginning, of course, though many refused and still refuse to acknowledge it. As my wife–a physician disagreeing with other medical personnel out there, or perhaps not getting paid off–often reminds me, people resist facing ugly truths until they’re cornered by truth itself. I’ll add that even then they fight against it–which creates the personal and societal schizophrenia we are now experiencing. This digital space has explored those truths since the very beginning of COVID, even when doing so drew sneers and tinfoil-hat accusations.
They still do from people who have never come to pay attention.
Remember when Trump teased us with this line?
“Some day we’re going to all sit down and have a little talk.”
That wasn’t a throwaway line. That was a “weave,” a breadcrumb in the larger narrative. And now the question is, does that earlier crumb connect to what he’s signaling in the above post?
Many are asking some, frankly, fascinating questions: Was Trump delusional in believing the vaccine worked–or winking at the truth? Why did his opponents–who rejected everything else he touched–suddenly defer to him on this–and paid the price because of it? And was “Operation Warp Speed” itself meant as a double-entendre, a clue that the operation was about more than medicine?
Was Trump compromised–or was he simply surviving?
Some people aren’t asking any of this, perhaps to their eventual detriment, because this narrative is far from over. Whether by design or inevitability, it seems the day has come when these questions can no longer be dismissed, when these questions will finally have permission to be discussed beyond the simple line of party politics. Eventually the only question that will be left is whether the world is ready for the answers.
The vaccine empire is collapsing–not from outside attack only, but more importantly from internal crumbling exposed in public view.
And it is the slow pace of that attack–we are hoping by the good guys–that frustrates even good people into thinking that “nothing ever happens.”
Even a part of me feels that way, especially since Christ as King and Healer of nations isn’t being brought into any of the discussions.
And that, folks, is one of my weaves.
Those who saw right through Trump’s words in late 2020 concerning the jab took the lead (against him, essentially) and in recent years the world has been catching up as fertility rates fall and young person after young person dies. The truth is dribbling out and the diseased temple is crumbling before us, right there in public view between visible government leaders and corporations we all know:
The latest fallout from the CDC’s controversial handling of longstanding vaccine policy came Wednesday, with the White House’s firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez and subsequent resignations of several top CDC officials, including chief medical officer Debra Houry, director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Daniel Jernigan, and director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Demetre Daskalakis.
The shakeup coincides with tightened restrictions on who can receive the COVID-19 vaccine, prompting major pharmacies CVS and Walgreens to restrict vaccinations, with CVS saying Friday the vaccine was only available in 13 states, plus Washington, D.C., to people with a prescription, citing “the current regulatory environment,” The New York Times reported.
While politicians like Bill Cassidy posture for relevance, Trump is nudging the issue forward in the only realm that really matters, just as he always does: the narrative realm. If he’s planting seeds of doubt now, what harvest is he preparing us for?
If we are to follow his lead as we have so often in the past, we can at least prepare ourselves for the possibility that the hesitant-to-admit-the-obvious of the world are about to see more nuance and context to “Operation Warp Speed” and what that truly meant beyond the obvious, beyond the literal, and into the realm of Trump’s double-entendre.
Some argue that by pushing the vaccine out so quickly, Trump disrupted the slow-boil plan–saving lives not through the jab itself, but by collapsing the timetable of a darker scheme of mass world depopulation. His own words from May 7, 2020, echo in this context:
“We went through the worst attack we’ve ever had on our country, this is worst attack we’ve ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. There’s never been an attack like this. And it should have never happened. Could’ve been stopped at the source. Could’ve been stopped in China. It should’ve been stopped right at the source. And it wasn’t.”
Of course, China is the simple scapegoat, something Trump has always been well aware of. The truth is more layered, implicating Fauci, Obama, Ukraine, and a web of diabolical plausible deniability. These were not mere accidents. They were rehearsals for control, and they go beyond China. Here’s the conspiracy that polite (or willfully ignorant) society still refuses to consider: that globalist public health bureaucrats, corporate partners, and their enablers were running a dress rehearsal for worldwide enslavement–and Trump’s Warp Speed shattered their decades-long plan.
And actually, if so, this goes back a lot longer than even that.
And here’s the even darker possibility–one that true freedom demands we at least entertain: what if Trump himself is part of the theater? What if, in exposing one layer of tyranny, he drives us deeper into dependence on him, setting the stage for a more refined captivity?
Think Hegelian Dialectic and Stockholm Syndrome for a moment.
Do you remember the scene in Jurassic World when the seemingly largest carnivore T-Rex was gobbled down suddenly and out of nowhere by an even greater, unknown monster?
That monster saved the day in that scene, remember. In that scene.
But the movie went on.
Do I believe that about Trump? Not today. But genuine freedom–the one Trump himself has inspired us to reach for–requires the courage to ask such questions–even of leaders we admire, even of the man who so often proves us right. Because the very tools that appear to liberate us can, if we’re careless, enslave us more completely and permanently.
Saying that and thinking that way is the only way to–I’ll say it again–be free.
Was Warp Speed perfect? No, no matter how you spin it. Were there casualties? Yes, many. But by forcing the globalists’ hand, did Trump save us from “a thousand years of darkness,” as the poetry might go?
And here’s a thought for both political tribes: The danger lies not only in recognizing that “conspiracy theory” as a distinct possibility, but in crowning him as our savior without thinking twice because of it. For the moment we stop questioning such frail earthly matters, we stop being free to hold true to the Divine. The moment we stop remembering that Jesus Christ saved us from even more than that, we are doomed–to eternal enslavement.
That’s the real double-entendre here–our obsession with earthly safety makes us forget freedom. And even the great Donald Trump doesn’t take the conversation there enough, if at all.
We cheer when one monster devours another, forgetting–it’s still a monster. Forgetting the ancient enmity. Forgetting Genesis 3:15.
Let’s not let the likelihood that Trump is for real get in the way of the eternal danger of–forgetting.
The reckoning over COVID and the jab may or may not be “here” yet. But one truth is timeless: there is never a wrong time to sharpen discernment, never a wrong time to admit we got it wrong, never a wrong time to ask the questions no one else dares to ask, never a wrong time to turn our attention and homage to the one true Savior. That, more than Warp Speed, more than any leader’s brilliance, is where truth lies–and what keeps us free and of sound mind to follow it.
