If successful we can view this as a solution ready for the problem, and credit 30 years of curiosity, intellectual creativity and dogged determination funded privately and publicly along the way. Neither Biden nor Trump had much to do with it. The rollout is another matter and if the previous administration wants to defend their rollout strategy/tactics, let’s hear some facts. Let’s also hear an explanation about why they had trouble counting the doses they did have - or didn’t. I’m still not sure.
