Oxford University should be commended for that.
We would all have been better off of Oxford had partnered with someone with more experience that hadn’t already messed up:
1) The scientific trials
2) Manufacturing the vaccine
3) The legal agreements they signed with various governments.
Moderna, for example, has also fallen behind on their supplies but they signed sensible contracts (and followed sensible policies) and don’t have governments hounding them for more supplies.
- mytailorisrich 6y ago> Oxford University should be commended for that. If you go that way it depends on the terms of the deal and how much AstraZeneca is paying them. But yes, good on them for making that demand. AstraZeneca, a private commercial company, has agreed to produce a vaccine at cost in huge volumes and they should be commended for it in any case. As I said, not all Covid vaccines are produced at cost, some of them are even sold at, I suspect, eye watering margins.
