Trump got you NOTHING. The World Health Organization organized the research and production of the vaccines. Trump did what ever other first world leader did, he wrote cheques to the drug companies. But he failed to place orders and most of the vaccine was purchased by other countries.
The vaccines were built on the research undertaken by Oxford University in England (Astra Zeneca) in 2003 after the SARS Covid-02 outbreak. Pfizer was developed in Germany using research money from the German government.
Moderna began their research and testing n 2010 and were simply awaiting the covid19 DNA to graft it onto their prior research. It took one weekend to complete.
The MNRA vaccines have been under development and testing since 2003 but lacked a large enough outbreak for mass testing. Neither SARS nor MERS was sufficient contagious to trigger large enough outbreaks. Covid19 simply provided a large enough outbreak for mass testing, and the governments wrote cheques to fund the testing and production of the most promising vaccines prior to receiving government approval for their use.
Trump failed to purchase any vaccine beyond his intitial order when he announced Operation Warp Speed. He simply barred the drug companies from exporting vaccines outside the USA without government consent. In January, the Pfizer plant in upstate New York, was refused an export license to complete Canada's order from Pfizer. Our order was delay by three weeks at the height of the post Christmas surge, waiting for our order to be produced and shipped from German.
Talk about government control of the means of production. Then Trump failed purchase any more vaccines and left the states scrambling for the vaccines just like PPE.
I'm going to add that Joe Biden never rescinded Trump's EO regarding vaccine exports. I did a quick scan of all his EO's especially those rescinding Trump's orders, and nothing. It's still in force.
As for the PPP loans, Trump didn't give that money to you, little man. If you had already been laid off and had no job, you got NONE of that money. That money only went to large employers and Republicans donors. The White House controlled that fund, and just like Trump's Inauguration Fund, Trump has never accounted to the American people as to what happened to the money. In fact, the GAO is reporting:
Criminals are cashing in on the vast amounts of federal aid for people and businesses hurt by the pandemic.

Covid is running wilder than ever because Trump let it run wild for over a year before Biden took office, in an effort to achieve "herd immunity" by infecting the entire nation. Dr. Faucci warned early on that if you didn't get the virus under control and shut it down early, it could continue to spread and mutate and you'd never get it under control. Dr. Faucci then quickly added that President Trump would never allow that to happen, but that's just what Trump did not only allow to happen, he openly encouraged it.
