This is all nonsense as you've failed at every request to show any causation from Trump's actions and how it translated to the production of the first vaccine. As I already told you, coronaviruses were already known before the pandemic and there had already been efforts made towards a vaccine. The main reason for the speed is that companies were implementing a groundbreaking technology, "years in the making," in Messenger RNA which is much, much faster than the traditional way of producing vaccines. It wasn't like they were starting from scratch on day one and miraculously came up with a vaccine months later. The company that produced the first vaccine had no funding from Trump's "Operation Warp Speed." That's just a fact. As far as "record time," that's still not true.
When Obama was confronted with H1N1 guess how long it took to come up with a vaccine? The first cases in the USA were discovered in April of 2009 and the first vaccine trials began in July of that same year. The vaccine was FDA approved in September, just five months after the virus was first known. Obama didn't go bragging about how his decisive actions produced the vaccine or saved millions of lives. It is disingenuous for you and Trump to say what you're saying.
