Europe was really penny-wise/pound foolish. Instead of doubling down on all promising vaccine candidates, they ordered too little of the expensive vaccines (18 USD vs 5-7). Adding to this some more backdoor politics that led to buying just 300m Biontech doses because Biontech was perceived as the "German" vaccine and Sanofi (the "French" vaccine) also had only 300m orders on the book.
