No, I do think he took too long to recognize how incompetent they would become. It was these bureaucrats who pushed the vaccines and molded the entire strategy for the pandemic while Trump jabbered and Tweeted his own random thoughts. It would be my hope that , if Trump had prevailed in the election, he would have replaced the old guard with people like those you mention. Trump was flying by the seat of his pants (as he usually does) and in this arena, he was failing; but, in the beginning, it would seem logical to bring on the established "experts" in government to lead the our way through the pandemic. Hindsight is great, however.
None of the above is hindsight. I read the seminal Ioannidis STAT article in late March 2020. I sent it to the White House, my senators and congressmen:

It was all knowable early on. We let Fauci, Birx, and the idiot media stampede the masses:

How stupid everyone was to ignore your input.
Don't be too hard on yourself. I was paying attention--and trying to be a proactive citizen. You do you.
Wow that was early! Ioannidis was asking all the right questions.
