I wonder if those vaccines were primarily going to be distributed locally. I live nearby, and my county's weekly covid update said they expect to have most people 16+ vaccinated by the end of April because we're supposed start getting an increased number of vaccine doses every week.

The Times says the accident won't stop the U.S. from reaching President Biden's goal of having enough vaccine by the end of May for every adult, but in the global race against the virus, every dose counts." Won't affect vaccine delivery for Americans. Difficult to say for the rest of the world.
- markdown 6y agoYou could vaccinate two dozen countries to 100% with 15M doses.
- sp332 6y agoIt's good that it won't hurt the current schedule, but we could have had 15 million doses sooner.

- Throwawayaerlei 6y agoIf by locally you mean anywhere near the factory, no, for it just makes raw vaccine, which gets shipped to specialist firms that do "fill and finish." A paper, pretty sure it was The Washington Post ran a hit piece on the company and how Baltimore was behind on getting vaccines or something, and they replied pointing out they're just doing this under contract, they have no say in the disposition of doses. Which of course is several levels above them.
