Is Trump not responsible for Operation Warp speed? The program that spent billions of dollars to stockpile untested vaccines while they were going through testing so that we'd have an ample supply to distribute in the event they were approved (on an accelerated time scale)?

Unsurprisingly, the Biden administration did the exact opposite of what I suggested. Further entrenching COVID as a partisan issue.
> In January 2021, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced that the program was expected to undergo a restructure and renaming under the Biden administration. Also in January 2021, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, former Operation Warp Speed lead, was told not to use the name Operation Warp Speed anymore.
