There is a lot that goes into distribution. It’s not just scping your git repository to some machines on AWS. It’s developing the infrastructure, processes, tooling, etc. to create and package hundreds of millions of doses of a highly specialized and advanced drug with extraordinarily high reliability. If something does wrong, people will be harmed. It’s also about conducting clinical trials properly and working with regulators to get approval for your drug. Probably a lot more happening behind the scenes I haven’t mentioned. All of this effort takes hundreds of thousands of person-hours w/ highly specialized expertise. https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-announce-further-details-collaboration https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-deta...
