Trump's achievement presented as "unquestionable" by Alyssa Farah Griffin is something that the former president should be "proud" of, according to her statement, and she encourages him to take credit for it.
In a recent segment of The View, Alyssa Farah Griffin, a guest on the show, expressed her pride in the speed at which the U.S. obtained the Covid-19 vaccine. She highlighted Operation Warp Speed, a partnership initiated by the U.S. government under President Donald Trump's administration, as a key factor in the accelerated development, manufacturing, and distribution of the vaccine.
Griffin pointed out that the Covid-19 vaccine is one of President Trump's greatest successes, a statement that was echoed by Debra Houry, a physician, who testified in a Senate hearing that Operation Warp Speed was a "godsend" that "saved millions of lives."
However, the discussion on vaccines and vaccine skepticism among Americans was not without controversy. Griffin discussed the declining faith in big pharma and some vaccines, but noted that a majority of the country still supports long-trusted vaccines. Sara Haines speculated that Donald Trump might not take credit for the Covid-19 vaccine due to it not aligning with some narratives in his base.
Haines suggested that doctors, not pharmaceutical companies, should be the champions in raising awareness about vaccines. This sentiment was met with a question from Joy Behar, who asked why pharmaceutical companies have not been involved in raising awareness about vaccines.
The segment, which took place during a segment on The View called Hot Topics, also touched upon the fact that recent polls show that many Americans still trust vaccines that have been around for decades. Despite the ongoing debate, the importance of vaccination in combating the pandemic was clear.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC. As the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic, the discussion on vaccines and vaccine skepticism is likely to remain a hot topic.
