You act like simply predicting that the vaccine would be developed at a record pace is some kind of accomplishment, when in fact most people predicted the same thing.

Go back and read those 3 articles. They are posts #470, 472 and 473.
The media and the so-called experts predicted the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Trump anticipated. They said no way will we have a vaccine by year's end. So it's a fucking lie to say "most people predicted the same thing." Most people didn't.
And Trump as POTUS did much more than make a fucking prediction - he made it happen! To quote from the James Freeman article:
"In this season of thanks we can all be grateful that Mr. Trump was pushing them to exceed the usual glacial pace of Washington’s health bureaucracies. A recent Journal editorial noted:
The Trump FDA’s Covid innovation has been providing real-time feedback and clear guidance to drug and vaccine makers about its expectations. This has helped therapies and vaccines advance and cut Phase 3 trials from three years to a few months. These reforms are one of the success stories of the federal Covid response."
