if they had had firm orders that covered costs in may last year they would have got the factory up an running 3 to 4 months earlier and ironed out any problemsIt makes no difference overall. You can't conjurer up extra vaccine from nowhere. Big pharma oversold it's capacity to produce in order to secure contracts with countries.
no company can go out and commit to an unknown market with out some gaurantees
phizor did it but their cost per shot is 10 times the astra shot and their covid profit will be in the order of 7 to 10 billion as reported last weekend
astra at £2 a shot only have sales of 2 billion per year and have stated their contract is to produce at cost
the uk used astra because the govement did not trust the americans to deliver
but we still orders as early as possible to give producers a clear run to concentrate on production
then the uk could also concentrate on the organisation of the delivery
2500 sites have opened up for delivery in the last 2 months
the eu could have done the same if they had banged heads together and got on with it
the leadership of the eu was asleep or worse negligent
