It's a fact that Fauci and other leaders of both the CDC and these pharmaceutical companies said producing a vaccine in a year or less was a virtual impossibility (they estimated 2 to 3 years, at best), and clearly it was Trump's pressure on them that made it happen. It;s a fact that Trump, months in advance of the vaccine's availability (a week after the Nov 3 2020 election, with clear delay for political reasons, to not bolster Trump), arranged in advance the vaccine's production and distribution, in partnership between the CDC, private-sector pharmaceutical companies, and the U.S. military to expedite mass availability of the vaccine nationwide as soon as possible. And that all these logistics were put in place well before Biden was inaugurated on Jan 20th. That Biden himself received his two vaccines on Dec 21st and Jan 12th. You nitpick about a minor detail of the massive effort, attempting to steal credit from Trump, to try and give that credit to someone else, ANYONE else. It was Trump who pushed the urgency, no one else. Pharmaceutical companies and CDC and NIH resisted that urgency.

Without Trump as president, we would have been Italy, France and Spain, who suffered enormous unnecessary Covid-death casualties, and had to "triage" overwhelmed medical resources. Because of Trump, the U.S. was spared from that.

Trump saved us from that, both with his initial bans on travel from China and Europe, and in expediting creation and distribution of the vaccine. With incompetent Biden as president, even if the vaccine had been invented in the same timeframe, he would not have had the foresight to organize its rapid distribution, and the vaccine would not have been available for another 6 months or a year. I again refer you to Biden chief of staff Ron Klain's admission of their utter helplessness during the Swine Flu pandemic. You're seeing similar examples of thie incometence in the skyrocketing price of gas, the extension of money to workers preventing them from going to work EVEN AFTER the Covid-19 crisis has passed, giving billions to Iran that were immediately used to fire roughly 5,000 missiles into Israel and sparking another war, and the record waves of illegals overwhelming our border. On every front, Biden's incompetence is on full display.
