The Operation Warp Speed Story Worsens By the Day

The federal government should never have funded Operation Warp Speed, the 2020 central plan quarterbacked by the Trump administration to rush a coronavirus-vaccine to the people. About the previously expressed opinion, none of it should be construed as an expression of medical knowledge. None is needed to disdain what shouldn’t have happened.

To see why, consider the dangerous precedents set by a government eager for health reasons, or much worse, for political reasons, to quickly get a vaccine out the door. This example of excessive intervention (cheered in bipartisan fashion) means that going forward, the pathogens that are as old as mankind will be met with a federal response first, and much worse, they’ll be met by a government with taxable access to staggering amounts of wealth that it can throw at any problem first. Stop and think about this. Operation Warp Speed institutionalized central planning backed by billions of taxpayer dollars as the lead response to that which is said to threaten us.
