Does the Trump Administration deserve credit for Operation Warp Speed's contribution to speedy vaccine development? Yes. Does it deserve credit for otherwise grossly mismanaging the pandemic response, unnecessarily costing hundreds of thousands of American lives? Also yes.

Brexiteers claimed that the UK never have sovereignty. They continue to claim that this perceived lack of sovereignty is more precious than anything. So tell us, HOW is it: Better than jobs and investment? Better than stable food prices? Better than freedom to travel?
