The slow vaccination is not really the fault of our german politicians and the situation is improving (since the negotiation was EU-wide). Also, some of the setbacks were hard to forecast, it's always easy in hindsight. The actual vaccination infrastructure is running quite smoothly, we just lack the vaccines so far.

We absolutely could have given the mRNA vaccine makers funding to build up production capacity before the efficacy results are in. There would have been a risk of spending a billion euros on nothing if the vaccines turn out to be ineffective, but that should be a risk worth taking if the success case has you save many times that money (and that's before we talk about the psychological impact of a prolonged crisis).
