Right in the first sentence:"Japan has discarded some 13.5 million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as all of the remaining shots supplied by the British pharmaceutical company have expired"
So no, you just can't ship the expired doses away.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoWell, you have projected demand and current supply. At some point you ask, "Do we need all these?" If the answer is no, you ship them out. How many times (in the USA) did public health officials (e.g., Fauci) and the media drum on about the dangers of new variants and how that is the world's problem? Yet, time and again we see actions that run directly counter to that narrative. If it's not negligence than it's intentional. Neither is acceptable. We all know the rule: Actions speak louder than words.
- safety1st 4y agoDid you read the article? They did in fact 'ship out' 44 million doses, much more than they discarded. Globally there's tons of production capacity for Astrazeneca and not much demand for it, the vast majority of people who want it, have already got it.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoYes. I read the article. This isn't the first time or place this has happened. Multiple govs went over the top, pushed a oh-the-variants narrative, and then trashed millions of taxpayer dollars. Again. If it's not intentional it's negligence.
