The Food and Drug Administration approved a COVID-19 vaccine this week from Moderna, the second one to be approved after a vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech SE was authorized last week.
The same media establishment that derided Trump during the election for promising a vaccine by the end of the year have exactly nothing to say about how they were wrong and Trump was right.
As my colleague Chris Bedford noted recently, the media were quick to publish bogus "Fact checks" of Trump's vaccine development timeline, calling it "Misleading" and "Inaccurate," and trotting out experts to cast doubt on the administration's efforts.
"Trump appears to be expediting the vaccine development process, misrepresenting how fast a vaccine will be available to the public in fighting the novel coronavirus," ran a typical fact check in the Washington Post back in March.
The Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed took the risk out of vaccine development by funding several pharmaceutical companies at once, preordering millions of doses of vaccines that were still in trials, and investing in manufacturing facilities.
Don't be surprised if the media end up giving President-elect Joe Biden credit for beating COVID next year thanks to a vaccine developed on Trump's watch.
That's why his administration's role in creating a successful vaccine is being memory-holed, right now, in real time.
