By reading the phrase "Desperately needed vaccines against COVID-19, developed and tested at record speed, are 2020’s breakthrough", do you have an impression that the vaccines are the ONLY, rather than among, breakthrough(s) of 2020?
I do. I am not sure whether this impression is the result of a correct understanding of the English phrase.

Desperately needed vaccines against COVID-19, developed and tested at record speed, are 2020’s breakthrough
By Jon Cohen17 December 2020
In March, when cases of COVID-19 began to overwhelm hospitals in the United States, I told my 90-year-old mother that she had to shelter in place. She lives alone in Los Angeles, and to keep her company, I FaceTimed her every night. In the role reversal that happens with time, I became the forever-worried, nagging parent, and she was the ever-doubting, defiant child.
