Operation Warp Speed Was One of Trump’s Biggest Achievements. Then Came RFK Jr. and Vaccine Skeptics
Congressional hearings reveal sharp bipartisan divisions over vaccine access policies, with Operation Warp Speed credited for saving millions, while regulators limit availability for many Americans.
- At a congressional hearing Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced criticism for restricting vaccine access, while President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed is credited with saving tens of millions of lives.

- The three-hour hearing exposed an unusual policy split as President Donald Trump praised Operation Warp Speed last week, yet Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine policies remain restrictive.
