True, he equivocated a lot and his prognostications about having one before election day, while frequent, were usually couched in qualifying language.
But if you want to call 'end of year' his base prediction I don't see how you'd say he has any special claim to being 'right'.

Oh, and almost all the sources I cited said "end of year" is a pipe dream.

I think Trump does deserve some credit, but calling it 'The Trump vaccine' is ignoring a lot of other people who deserve as much or more credit. I'd guess there are a lot of people who've spent a lot of time away from their families to get this done.

Absolutely.
But Trump Vaccine has such a nice ring to it.

Agree. President Trump should get credit. He "smooth" the wheel from the government side when it was needed.
But as you said, thousands and thousands of hours of work (alot of which was done over the past 10+ years) has been done by a lot of unknown people who also deserve credit.

In the UK, 'trump' is slang for fart, so yes, it does have a nice ring to it.
