WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and John Barrasso (R-WY), Senate Majority Whip, introduced a resolution nominating President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for launching Operation Warp Speed, which delivered safe and effective vaccines that saved millions of lives during the pandemic. President Trump calls Operation Warp Speed, “one of the greatest achievements ever.”
“President Trump’s decisive action in Operation Warp Speed not only saved millions of lives but brought the American economy back to life. When Americans needed a vaccine in record time to stop a once-in-a-generation pandemic, President Trump delivered,” said Dr. Cassidy. “The Nobel Prize has been given for a lot less. He should receive the next one!”
“Operation Warp Speed is a model of American strength and ingenuity. It would not have been possible without President Trump’s bold leadership. He bent an infamously slow bureaucracy to his will to bring a vaccine to market in under a year. Operation Warp Speed saved millions of lives in the United States and millions more lives around the world. President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his life-saving achievement,” said Senator Barrasso.This effort echoes multiple Trump administration officials, including Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, who have publicly called for the President to get the Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed.
