The problem with all of that from the point of view of someone who believes that covid-19 was planned years in advance - and I am not saying it was - is this argument from Trump supporters that he was duped or forced to do this or that etc.
Note that you gave absolutely no argument to the idea that if this was all planned, Trump would have been far better equipped to target vaccine holdouts than Hilary. We already know almost all of her supporters lined up for the vaccine so exactly how would Hilary have managed to get holdouts which are higher in the red states to take a vaccine when even Trump couldn't reach them? Note, I do expect some on the right did take the vaccine because Trump told them to but wouldn't have done so if Hilary were in charge. Also, if one does believe that covid-19 was planned for years as some suggest though I personally do not suggest this to be the case, then I would imagine part of such planning would have involved gaming out scenarios of vaccine uptake under various presidents. Trump followed by Biden seems to reach the most people as Trump would be able to reach the people who don't trust the establishment while Biden would wave away any worries of Trump rushing out vaccines as he's a return to the "classic" politician. I doubt Hilary would be as effective on the left as Biden has been.
