Not trusting that it's being distributed in the best way is in no way the same as distrusting the vaccine itself.

That's absolutely not what anyone was implying. And at best is a distinction without a difference.

They were responding to being asked if they would take a vaccine developed/released under the Trump administration.

Not: "What's wrong with how this administrator is handling the vaccine?"

Or, "Do you have a problem with how it's going to distributed?" Which didn't significantly change from one administration to the next, and is an impressive logistical feat in it's own right.

Even if, the same logic stands. Sowing distrust in distribution -or any other aspect- is either implicit distrust in the product or distrust in the government pushing it.

What good is expressing distrust in any part of it, except to discourage people from trusting the quality/safety/efficacy of the product itself?
