The liberals have been blaming Donald Trump for the virus even though what has happened was out of his control. Trump launched Operation Warp Speed to combat the virus. Now that a vaccine has been found will the liberals back off and stop blaming Donald Trump for the virus?

Fact Sheet: Explaining Operation Warp Speed

Pfizer says COVID-19 vaccine is looking 90% effective
Nobody blamed Trump for the virus. We were critical of how the federal government, under his direction, handled the public response to the pandemic. If the vaccine proves effective he should get credit for allowing the relevant government departments to speed its development.

Was Jimmy Carter vindicated for getting the hostages in Iran freed?

I’m seeing parallels between the two. The heavy lifting came during the incumbent administration, the challenger ran on the problem (among other issues) and won, and the payoff is going to most likely come shortly into the new administration (Iran was a few hours).

Vindicated for doing what? He has worked harder to invalidate an election than he did to help with COVID.

Did you even read the article? Pfizer didn’t participate in the US development program because they said it would slow down the process and prevent them from working with international partners to develop it.

Actually they did and the evidence of that can be found all over these forums.
Then you shouldn't have any difficulty finding an example of someone claiming that Trump created the virus,

Now that's spin. You don't give him ANY credit for causing the research to be done in and expedient manner. You're "allowing" wants to assert that would be their normal timing of events.

Pfizer is saying they are not part of operation warp speed and got no funding from that program for the development of their vaccine. I think I remember reading they were funded by German funding. They got money for completed doses from the US, but not for the development. I think Trump was betting on Moderna being first in the US.

There are things he could have been doing to slow down the spread instead of just waiting for a vaccine. He could have encouraged masks among his base, and not held superspreader events that spread the virus. He could have also encouraged Americans to listen to and follow Science. Just this last week he held an indoor superspreader event and now his chief of staff and 5 other staff members are now all infected.

And I suppose will continue to do so if he thinks he has valid reasons. And by the way didn't Hillary Clinton tell Mr Biden NOT TO concede defeat for any reason? What did she mean by that? Wouldn't it have to mean that you exhaust EVERY LEGAL possibility even up to the Supreme Court to decide the election. What else could it mean?

I don't know that he deserves any. He might, but it is also possible that the relevant government departments and private sector participants may have worked just as fast without his pronouncements But the question is not about how much credit he deserves for his actions in this matter. It's about whether he should be vindicated by those actions of the accusation that he created the virus himself--and nobody has made that accusation.

Pfizer head of vaccine development Dr. Kathrin Jansen told the NY Times: “We were never part of the Warp Speed ... We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.”

The "leader" of the WH task force and the president's unqualified daughter have both made false claims about Pfizer and "Warp Speed" online. Liars are going to lie. Sigh.

Nobody is saying that he created the virus get your facts straight. Words have meanings and that’s not what this thread is about.

I don't know, you'd have to ask Ms. Clinton. Is there any evidence that Pres-Elect Biden was listening to Ms. Clinton. There have been Republicans stating that Pres. Trump should concede, does that mean he has?

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
No. Your claim is that "Liberals" blame Trump for the virus, which is false. Nobody blames the existence of the virus on Trump. We blame him for inept handling of the virus crisis, which is not the same thing at all.
