While I agree that credit is due and the Trump Administration did get some things right about the vaccine process, couldn't that all have happened while putting into place the same measures that say Germany had? Couldn't we have developed the vaccine in a record amount of time, while bailing out people instead of corporations, and preventing hundreds of thousands of deaths with any sort of federal action? Giving this administration praise for what they did right in vaccine development feels a bit like shooting someone in the leg and then getting praise for applying pressure to the wound, while also somehow taking their taxes, directing them to my billionaire friends, and refusing to call 911. Maybe I'm just too partisan?
Trump can’t take credit for vaccines. Here in Australia there are similar developments and the beginnings of production from The University of Queensland and Oxford University. This has been heavily in the news here in Australia.

I think, in this case, it's more about what he *didn't* do than what he did do!
