30 million doses by April? 100 million by June? I thought the whole point of Op Warp Speed was to “manufacture at risk”? It was supposed to be ready to roll out on the day of authorization. American taxpayers supposedly paid $billions, what am I missing? nytimes.com/live/2021/02/0…
Same with Novovax. Now we’re not supposed to get that until summer as well? And mRNA in the fall? What’s going on? With the variants arriving we need these vaccines now. Our vaccine is available
Since the beginning of Op Warp Speed I've said need to balance their portfolio. Too much emphasis on innovation, we need more "old school" vaccines that we know we can make at scale. We needed a recombinant protein vaccine like ours + whole inact virus. We can still do this...
Meanwhile we explained to Canada last year that they were too dependent on the multinationals and they will be left out, they needed self-sufficiency, we offered a path and a partnership. They declined, now they're signing a contract with Novovax but not until the end of 2021.
