The Trump admin made the vaccine. Remember Operation Warp Speed? Why did he have leftists creating the vaccine? Makes no sense.

Trump's background was as a businessman, not as a politician. So he hired highly qualified (on paper) people but neglected to vet them for political reliability. The RATs do the opposite; political reliability comes first followed by race, gender and sexual orientation (the weirder, the better).

Trump was backed into a corner. He is not a scientist nor a researcher, not a vaccine developer. He had to depend upon the FDA and CDC and Fauci, all of the wrong people who were in charge of coming up with a vaccine. Was Trump going to tell them to not worry about it or that he was going to find others to make the vaccine? He was trapped in a situation that was desperate, and the whole country was in panic. He had to do something, and as president, he had to do something, none of which he was familiar with.

Ii can't blame him at all for what transpired that year or years after. People forget soon and easily about what happens during crisis times. Not Trump's fault! But, if there's credit due, then, he deserves it for speeding up a solution that seemed to work at the time. 10/20 hindsight for what occurred post-vaccine, is not the way to look at it.

“Why did he have leftists creating the vaccine? Makes no sense.”

It makes perfect sense if:

(1) He didn’t know they were leftists. He believed they were scientists and their “job” was to help people.

And

(2) He trusted Pence to assemble a kick-ass group of the best.
