Hoaxman no doubt had minimal involvement in operation Warp Speed. Trump's cutting of preventative
measures is more telling to his contribution to the pandemic itself and the handling of it.

Timeline of Trump’s Coronavirus Responses

May 2018 - The Trump Administration disbands the White House pandemic response team.
July 2019 - The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) epidemiologist embedded in China’s
disease control agency left the post, and the Trump Administration eliminated the role.

His administration deserves some credit for Warp Speed, though it wouldn't have been possible
without Obama's earlier trust in science seen in his investment mRNA research

Obama's contribution to rapid vaccine development highlighted in hearing

8/3/2020, 6 a.m.



At a hearing on Friday of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) highlighted the work done and investments made during the Obama administration that are directly responsible for the successes of current vaccines in development. Specifically, Foster pointed to President Obama's decision to invest in mRNA vaccine research, which is one platform being used to develop potential vaccines in record time.

Foster said, "Heeding the advice of his scientific panel, in 2013 the Obama Administration invested $25 million through DARPA for research into the mRNA platform for pandemic response. This was followed by a $125 million investment by BARDA in 2015, so that by the end of the Obama administration, mRNA vaccines and therapeutics were being tested in both animals and humans.

"The reasons the Obama administration prioritized mRNA vaccines and therapeutics were speed of manufacture, and potency. Without those kinds of investments, "Project Warp Speed" and current efforts to produce an effective COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible would not be finding success."

You conveniently also ignore Trump's personal attitude to the importance of a vaccine

May 8, 2020 - “This is going to go away without a vaccine. It is going to go away. We are not going to see it again.”
May 9, 2020 - “This is going to go away without a vaccine.”
May 11, 2020 - U.S. death toll passes 80,000

Your continued attacks on expert advice combined with your continued defense of the indefensible
criminal negligence, from beginning to end, of hoaxsman Trump is indescribably irresponsible.

"And all the expert doctors interviewed on CNN...
They all said - no way can we get a vaccine done that quick!
But Trump did it! Well...Sleepy is taking the credit "

Toss in Trump's contribution to the anti-vaxxer movement.

dropdeadfred - How Anti-Vaccine Sentiment Took Hold in the United States
[...]
Though the situation may seem improbable to some, anti-vaccine sentiment has been building for decades, a byproduct of an internet humming with rumor and misinformation; the backlash against Big Pharma; an infatuation with celebrities that gives special credence to the anti-immunization statements from actors like Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey and Alicia Silverstone, the rapper Kevin Gates and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And now, the Trump administration’s anti-science rhetoric.

Biden is not sensationalizing false claims of credit he doesn't deserve. Trump repeatedly did.
