Biden Informed Of Pfizer’s Vaccine News Before Government Health Officials

By Tristan Justice

Former Vice President Joe Biden was informed of Pfizer’s successful coronavirus vaccine news before the nation’s incumbent chief health care administrator, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar.

“I, as Secretary of Health and Human Services, learned about this from media reports on Monday morning,” Azar said Wednesday during an interview with Washington D.C. radio station WMAL.

On Monday, the pharmaceutical giant announced that its coronavirus vaccine candidate showed to be 90 percent effective in large-scale clinical trials, putting the end of the pandemic that has claimed the lives of almost 250,000 Americans since March on the horizon.

“If the Biden campaign found out Sunday night but you … didn’t find out until Monday, that sounds like there’s a problem there,” WMAL host Vince Coglianese said during his interview with Azar.

“There certainly was a gap in communication, let’s say,” Azar responded.

According to RealClearPolitics, White House staff fumed at learning of the vaccine through the media as opposed to directly from the company as Biden did.

While Drs. Moncef Slaoui and Anthony Fauci openly contradicted the president’s campaign statements that the U.S. was reeling towards a vaccine, Monday’s announcement proved the president was right.

The news that the Biden campaign learned of the vaccine’s effectiveness before official administration officials raises new suspicions over the announcement’s timing less than a week after the November election.

The company also lied about its participation in Operation Warp Speed, the federal initiative driven by the Trump White House to expedite vaccine development.

“We were never part of the Warp Speed … We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone,” company Senior Vice President Kathrin Jansen said in an interview reported by the New York Times. Pfizer later had to revise her statement, as they have indeed benefited from a $2 billion dollar contract with HHS.

On the campaign trail, Biden’s running mate and California Sen. Kamala Harris joined the anti-vaxxer movement, repeatedly casting doubts over a vaccine released under the Trump administration. Following Monday’s announcement however, coming two days after media outlets called the race for Biden, Harris has refrained from further criticism.

    My election pipe dream – fanciful but possible

    What if Trump had loyalists take out FISA warrants to spy on Biden and top Democrats and has them all on tape plotting and scheming leading up to and through this election ? This is consistent with the rumors that this whole election was a sting operation and that Trump and friends were watching from a secure intelligence hub, probably recording everything. And the rumored QSnatch program that is supposed to be found on every election computer might have been flagging and sending out every Scorecard vote swap back to the secret bunker. There might even be enough evidence to actually impeach the plotters in government and congress with a real impeachment … and maybe even throw some people in jail , lit the top turds in media and Tech under RICO or sedition statutes. ( It is so tantalizing to dream of firing squads here but I don’t want to get too rediculous.)

    Isn’t that how a Trump gets even ? … he really gets EVEN !!!!!
