<WHO has been pushing for programs to delay the looming pandemic, saying that each day allows for 5 million more doses of vaccine to be made.>

5 million doses a day = 35 million a week which is 10 million lives saved a week, assuming only half those not vaccinated get H12N8 death disease, and only 60% of those infected die.

10 million lives a week x $1 million per life = $10 trillion a week. Gee, that's a big number. It's obviously worth spending some money and investing some effort to prevent such a mega catastrophe.
