Vaccines Developed and Secured Trump - 900 million Biden - zero

When I hear Biden spout another false narrative trying to discredit the accomplishments of the Trump administration with respect to vaccines, claim that they are "fixing" the situation and I see the main stream media allowing this false narrative to be spread, I can't help but worry about where our country is going.

FACTS

Early in the pandemic the Trump administration initiated project Warp Speed and provided the financial security and incentives for multiple companies to work on developing a vaccine in an extraordinary aggressive timeline.

In fact, when he claimed that a vaccine would be available by the end of 2020 he was widely ridiculed.

What did the Trump Administration do?

They entered agreements with multiple companies, at least 6, where they pre-paid each company for a base amount of vaccine, sufficient for vaccinating between 50 and 150 million Americans and for the option to buy additional vaccine sufficient to vaccinate all Americans from each company.

Let me repeat that.  They essentially contracted with multiple companies to get sufficient vaccine supply for all Americans from each company.  While potentially resulting in too much vaccine, given the risk, uncertainty and the need for expeditious development this was clearly a justified approach.

The result to date is that the Trump Administration secured enough vaccine from companies that have been approved in the US for 900 million Americans.  If you include companies that have not yet been approved in the US but have been approved by Canada, the EU and the UK  the Trump Administration secured enough vaccine from companies for 1.1 billion people.  

Yes the companies still have to produce the additional vaccine, but they have in fact been making it as fast as they can and continue to expand production now that they have approval. 

When you hear Biden claim he is fixing the situation by placing orders for more vaccine, keep in mind all he is doing, similar to a purchasing assistant in a big company releasing a purchase order on an already negotiated purchase contract, is executing the option to buy more of the vaccine that the Trump Administration has already developed, negotiated and secured.

If Biden really wants to help the country he should quit lying about what he is doing and instrad should focus on the science and:

1. Prioritize first shots first (delaying second shots until all first shots done)
2. Delay shots for people who have had Covid
3. Approve AstraZeneca
