It'll be one vat with the potential for 15 million doses... the corrupted mix never reached the individual dose stage.

It'll be one vat with the potential for 15 million doses... the corrupted mix never reached the individual dose stage.
- taeric 6y agoI find it sad how quick the narrative jumps to the more absurd 15 million number. Obviously, the mistake is bad. But this is something with a very high fan out. And the smaller number just doesn't get the clicks. :(
- maxerickson 6y agoThe batch time seems to be weeks/months, so there is some relevance to the dose count (it's wasted time in addition to the wasted ingredients). And it's put other production from the facility into question.
- mc32 6y agoAnd there will be an FDA investigation which will put further delays into new production.
- taeric 6y agoBut this is a natural consequence of mistakes in processes with very high fan out. Obviously, it should be investigated such that were can reduce the chance is mistakes in the future. But piling on with blame will just convince folks not to try.
- maxerickson 6y agoGiven the $10 a dose revenue, I'd call it a failure in the process rather than a mistake. That it was possible is the bigger problem than it happening. And then there's the much greater value of the doses once they have been administered.
- Igelau 6y agoAnd it's J+J's name that goes in the headline. It wasn't even their fault. At least they didn't somehow cram the AZ connection in there too, though I'm sure other outlets are working on it.
