On April 26, former president Donald Trump revisited one of his most controversial pet projects: Operation Warp Speed. This time, he dragged his political opponent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the fray.

"His Views on Vaccines are FAKE, as is everything else about his Candidacy," wrote the former president about Kennedy in a post on Truth Social. This ignited significant backlash from Trump's base, highlighting the extent to which they disagree with him on COVID-19 vaccines. Robert Barnes, a constitutional lawyer and outspoken Trump supporter, who also represents Kennedy in multiple legal efforts, wrote, "whoever wrote this for you should be fired immediately. RFK has been right about vaccines." Other commenters sought clarification on which of Kennedy's views the former president felt were "fake."

Operation Warp Speed, which expedited the development and rollout of experimental gene therapy products in response to COVID-19, saw unprecedented profits for Pfizer and Moderna, as noted by senator Bernie Sanders. Speed came at the cost of compromised clinical trials, with needles entering arms under Emergency Use Authorization with only two months of safety data on the FDA's books. As a result, tens of thousands of Americans report suffering vaccine injuries, as even The New York Times is now reporting.
