This is farcical. Operation Warp Speed (fast development of Covid vaccines) was one of the few good things that Trump 1.0 did.
From tragedy to farce as you give Trump credit for the work of Nobel prize winning medical scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. Bloodly hell we are moving towards being North Korea.

Yeah fuck giving him credit for what scientists did.
Trump authorized and funded OWS. Obviously he didn't do the actual science. It's JFK and the moon landing. JFK didn't build the rockets or fly in them, but the project as a whole happened because of his getting behind it.
Not comparable to the moon mission. Letting someone else deal with a deadly disease should be not just a low bar, but the floor, for a leader.
I think you are rationalizing. Biden and Trump both did terrible at dealing with Covid. OWS was one of the few things done right. It really was something like the moon program. Otherwise you can never credit or blame a politician for anything unless they are the ones personally doing the work. But that's not what they do.
The alternative to OWS would have been to just let big pharma develop vaccines the usual way, instead of using a lot of approaches in parallel with government funding to get usable ones faster. Of course the protection from those vaccines was then pissed away under both administrations, by doing almost nothing (except during the initial lockdowns) to stop airborne spread of the virus. The Herman Cain Award is one of the most memorable legacies from that.
I stopped reading, pitiful second sentence
And you downvoted anyway. Silly cultist. 800,000 people dead of Covid under Biden, not a good look.
Biden didn't cause half the deaths like Trump but sure bOtH sIdEs
It's not false equivalence when they really do both suck! Anyway, have fun under Trump 2.0, courtesy of people like you refusing to acknowledge your leader's mistakes.
It is false equivalence unless they are equal which they very much aren't
Definitely makes tons of sense for you to blame me for trump when I voted against him and never would have considered doing otherwise. It makes you look very intelligent
I swear, this place is even stupider than Reddit. Kamala Harris spent a billion dollars literally campaigning against Trump, far more than you did by simply voting against him, but she helped him by running such a terrible campaign. And Biden? Among other things he managed to actually get infected with COVID just in time for his debate with Trump, causing him to throw a cog on nationwide TV. That helped Trump more than anything. If he had just worn an N95 mask, well I can't guarantee that he would have been re-elected, but he'd have probably avoided infection and done a lot better in the debate. Thanks, Biden.
