Awarding Trump for COVID-19 Vaccine Push: A Debate
USATue Sep 09 2025
The CEO of Pfizer, Albert Boura, has suggested that former President Donald Trump should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is due to Trump's role in speeding up the creation and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. Boura highlighted the success of Operation Warp Speed, a program started by Trump in 2020. This program helped prevent economic disaster and saved many lives worldwide.
However, Trump's stance on vaccines has been mixed. He once called the vaccine a "miracle" but later questioned its success. He even asked pharmaceutical companies to prove the effectiveness of their COVID drugs. This happened after the U. S. Food and Drug Administration set new rules on who could receive the vaccines. Trump also fired CDC director Susan Monarez after she resisted changes to vaccine policies.
Trump has always wanted a Nobel Peace Prize but claims he doesn't care about it. He says he just wants to be treated fairly. Several world leaders and lawmakers have supported the idea of Trump winning the prize. But Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly refused to nominate Trump, which caused tension between the two leaders.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee does not confirm nominees publicly. Trump has received several nominations this year, but many came after the deadline for the 2025 prize. The winner will be announced on October 10.
