It wasn't rushed under Biden, at least in the sense that it didn't skip any steps or ignore trial data (the whole vaccine process was as quick as possible under both Presidents, of course).

There was a real worry that it would be maliciously rushed under Trump.

Imagine this: Trump guts the FDA leadership and installs fringe scientists. Those scientists then skip steps, ignore trial data, and push out the vaccine.

If you think that was a far out possibility, then you're likely right-wing. The Scott Atlas situation alone should convince you that this was possible, let alone everything else about Trump.
