It's a good reframe.
My mind-read of Trump is that he wanted to be associated with the biggest life-saving thing in a generation, and gambled on that being Wu-flu vaccines. It worked awesome for a couple months, until it didn't. He's indifferent about them now, but knows his base is mostly against vaccines, so he's got to distance himself from them for political reasons.
