Credit where credit is due (20 November 2020): the administration's persistent negligence has surely led to the current increase in the number of cases. In turn, vaccine trials have reached threshold numbers of infections much more quickly than they would have otherwise. Is this what 'warp speed' means?
Here's a challenge: Try to think of someone less capable of managing the CoVID crisis than the current president. After the critical phase, we must not forget the administration's negligence and incompetence at the crucial early stage.
On 3 November 2020, the body politic activated its innate immune response that will soon eradicate the pathogenic presence in the White House. Now, an adaptive memory is necessary in order to sterilize society against further attacks of this sort.

The public health responses of South Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, and Germany belie that narrative
Could Trump turn a vaccine into a campaign stunt?
Ezekiel Emanuel & Paul Offit
New York Times 8 June 2020
A more likely event is that Trumpsters will hold out the promise of a vaccine by 2021. The timing of the election (November) and "warp speed" vaccine development (December) doesn't require the actual existence of a safe and effective product.
