Myths of Vaccine Manufacturing
So no, we did not “have the vaccine” in February.We did have it, we just didn't know which one it was. And we refused to risk any individual life in order to potentially save hundreds of thousands or more.We also could have invested single digit billions early on to build capacity for all of these different potential vaccines, but we decided to play if "safe" and will now be spending over a trillion again to try to save the economy.I don't blame the pharma companies for this. Our government and medical establishment was not intellectually prepared to make the hard decisions required to save us. And we need to be building momentum to learn how to do better.
