Meaning, regardless of who was POTUS on January of 2021, they were going to see big increases in daily vaccination rates as we ramped it up. Same as Biden isn't responsible for al of the gas price hikes, and he's not responsible for all of the inflation (some of that was going to happen regardless of who was POTUS then), he doesn't get all the credit for vaccines. He inherited a very well-functioning vaccine infastructure,
Lest you forget
South Korea followed the textbook principles of epidemiology. Kept deaths 40 times lower all the way till 75% of population fully vaccinated. That is success.

Trumps administration had exactly the same information at the same time as the South Korean government, they were proactive while Trump downplayed it.

"China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"

“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"
