He made it happen. He didn't personally create it. But we would not likely have a vaccine today had Biden been the president. Trump is the person who made the deal for multiple streams of development; Biden would have lacked the gumption to have done that.

Credit where credit is due for rapid delivery of Covid-19 vaccines ...

<< As if Trump actually "created" the vaccine, lol. >>

The COVID-19 outbreak in China was first reported publicly on December 31, 2019. By the second week of January 2020, researchers in China published the DNA sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

The Trump administration deserves credit for bring the Covid-19 vaccine to market in timely fashion in the US as does Boris Johnson's admin in the UK and for Angela Merkel's admin in Germany for funding Biotech which partnered with Pfizer to bring the Pfizer-BioTech vaccine to market. Hats off to researchers in China as well for publishing the DNA sequence of SARS-CoV-2 in late January accelerating vaccine R&D and making rapid delivery possible. Let's not forget NIH's 4 year collaboration with Moderna which enabled them to bring their vaccine to market.

The United Kingdom was the first country to authorize the vaccine on an emergency basis on December 2, 2020. Emergency use authorization in the United States was issued December 11, 2020

As of January 6, 2021, the CDC was reporting 17,288,950 doses distributed, but only 5,306,797 actually administered to a person. Let's give the Biden admin props for getting shots in peoples arms here in the US where that capability was seriously lacking .
