Tim, you are way off. Every country in the world, including China, is suffering from shortages of the vaccine. China has thrown tons of money at the problem to no avail. Innovative ways to produce the vaccine where eggs are not involved have not proven to be viable. A company announced just last week another failure of a new method to produce the vaccine.

To blame the problem on gov't is nonsense.

Nope, they misread the yields.

They didn't have final yields to read. They had very early results and normal methods of estimating final results, which didn't work well for this strain. But even if they had used known faulty methods, or worse yet just made up the numbers, it would be a much smaller contribution to the problem than what the feds did. If the estimates where perfect we would still have the shortage we just would have known about it sooner.

Government created the whole framework for the industry that was behind in the shortage.

What does that mean?

They created the circumstances behind the shortage.
