Last week, Donald Trump angered vaccine-skeptics in his base with a post to his Truth Social platform where he touted his participation on rushing out Covid shots during his time as president while live-critiquing President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address.
Trump was angry over Biden's claim that the "pandemic no longer controls our lives," and that the vaccines that "saved us from Covid are now being used to help beat cancer."
In a post to Truth Social, Trump declared, "YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE," adding in all caps, "NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!"

Operation Warp Speed was public-private partnership designed to enable faster development and approval of a vaccine for the pandemic.
Among those angered at Trump over his pro-vaccine post was conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxer Alex Jones, who wrote in a post to X that Covid vaccines were a "biological weapon."

"I love Trump but this is BS!" Jones wrote on a post to X. "The so-called vaccine is a biological weapon! Good news is people are awake and not even 45 can sell it."
Jones followed up this weekend with an extended rant on his show where he attacked Trump's post and gave him a warning.
"If I see any more of this from Trump ... I'm gonna have to go on the warpath," Jones warned. "I just cannot take this — I cannot Put my head down on the pillow at night and say that I'm a true person to everybody when I've already held my nose because of the overwhelming good he's doing and all the persecution, and put up with stuff like this."
Later in the 25-minute video posted to X, Jones said, "All I want Trump to do is to stop it," and then offered up another conspiracy theory.
"It's come out that Fauci, through an Obama program, cooked the damn virus up, they had the shots already ready ... This is a big loser for Trump."
