Your observations are valid.  But I also think POTUS is gaming the Gates Fauci alliance.  He's letting Gates spend his money knowing they won't be the winner.  I think POTUS set up a big contest knowing in advance that the goal was something that the bad known actors won't be part of.  You'll note that he mentioned not everyone would want the vaccine.  That doesn't sound like a government mandated thing.  He's chopping the MSM off at the knees by moving faster than they can build a narrative.  My guess is he'll have a number of theraputics like hydroxychloroquin that will protect people if they show symptoms and allow for a safe (non Gates/Fauci) vaccine for the elderly and Snowflakes that think they need it.    All in all I like that he isn't giving Fauci the keys to the car and telling him to head the effort.  He's parading Fauci and Birx out to say...look at the new people I have on my team.  Give Trump credit on this.  He won't allow poison to be injected in anything he's behind.  In fact, I'll say this is the first of many actions he'll take to study all vaccines and write new guidelines that forbid the use of mercury and other heavy metals or fetal tissue and other questionable items. He will take Gates off the world stage and send Fauci, Birx and Redman to Congress to be questioned and hounded.  They all might end up being prosecuted.
