"My administration provided a total of $14 billion to accelerate vaccine development and to manufacture all of the top candidates in advance — long in advance."
" We’re — we’re very hopeful that the FDA will authorize the Pfizer vaccine within days. We got to get it moving. And Moderna vaccine almost immediately thereafter. Large numbers of tests and samples have been done, so hopefully that’ll go very quickly."
"They say it’s — they say it’s somewhat of a miracle, and I think that’s true."
"We’ve already finalized a partnership with Walgreens and CVS, whose executives join us today."
"Through our partnership with FedEx, UPS, and McKesson, we’ll ship doses from warehouses directly to the designated sites."
"And we also did it where no American who has needed a ventilator has been denied a ventilator."

The start of the injections did not happen under DJT; he takes credit for providing the pathways to bring the products to market in an accelerated timeframe (OWS) to end the lockdowns. People that work in this area seem to understand that whereas people who are not familiar with clinical trials seem to continue to try to blame the failure of the product manufacturing and quality, implementation and oversight on him when he was not in a position to do anything about those issues once the product was brought to market. The current admin has had several years to address this and has not. Furthermore, DJT was against mandates then and reiterated just yesterday he still does not support mandates. It is the current administration that weaponized the public health system with mandates, government overreach, HIPPA violations, and unconstitutional surveillance while simultaneously not taking the products and getting caught partying and disregarding the restrictions on everyone else.
Incorrect.
Vaccinations started under Trump and continued with the Biden Presidency:
"The US did achieve more than one million doses a day on a few occasions during the Trump administration.
The daily average for the week before Mr Trump left office was less than 900,000, according to Our World in Data, external, although there could be a slight lag in recording daily vaccination figures".
