And? Either you agree with their conclusion based on the most up-to-date information for actual allocated budgets or you don't. Your information is based on what they requested, not what was actually given to them. Congress gave them more money than what was originally proposed. These bills were passed in spite of what Trump probably originally wanted to do, which was lower their budget.
Was it a great idea to reorganize personnel and not appoint a new person to the head of the NSC right afterward? No, but it's hard to imagine it would have made much of a difference if they weren't investing in vaccine developments for potential outbreaks even under the previous administration. Trump should have picked up the slack there, but his failing was that he didn't do so.
