President Trump lauded Operation Warp Speed during today’s White House Cabinet meeting, calling it “one of the greatest achievements ever in politics.”

Launched in 2020, the initiative was designed to accelerate the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. Despite backlash from parts of his base—many of whom remain staunchly opposed to pandemic measures and vaccines—Trump continues to highlight the program as one of his signature accomplishments.

However, speculation is mounting that the Trump administration may move to ban the COVID-19 vaccine within months. The Daily Beast reported on Aug. 25 that RFK Jr. and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are discussing plans to pull the controversial vaccine from the market.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, head of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative and a close associate of RFK Jr., told the Daily Beast that even members of Trump’s own family, along with figures in RFK Jr.’s inner circle, have been questioning why the vaccine is still being prescribed.

“Given the increased talk of vaccine injuries in recent weeks within the administration, this could come down to one clear decision,” Malhotra said.

White House spokesperson Kush Desai pushed back against the rumors, stating:

"The Administration is relying on Gold Standard Science and is committed to radical transparency to make decisions that affect all Americans. Unless announced by the Administration, however, any discussion about HHS policy should be dismissed as baseless speculation.”

Trump’s continued praise of Operation Warp Speed has left supporters wondering whether he would support removing the vaccines from the market. While several Cabinet members—and even some within his family—have spoken out against vaccine mandates, Trump has remained largely silent on the issue, choosing instead to focus on his role in founding the program.
