I wonder if those vaccines were primarily going to be distributed locally. I live nearby, and my county's weekly covid update said they expect to have most people 16+ vaccinated by the end of April because we're supposed start getting an increased number of vaccine doses every week.

How do you make 15 million of anything without realizing there's an issue, let alone the most scrutinized thing on the planet right now?

> Context: Workers at the plant, which had been producing Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines, conflated the ingredients between the two different types of vaccines, destroying 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to the Times.

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

This probably explains why only 5M doses of J&J vaccine were allocated for the week of April 5 as opposed to the 11+M that were anticipated.

Emergent was also supposed to be approved to ramp up the full supply chain but that hasn’t happened yet, could be related.

Proposition Joe had the connect on lockdown with the eastside and westside working together pumping out 15 million doses. Until young Marlo came in and put a stop to that. The game is the game, vaccines or not.

Well, I stopped looking at news for one week and the frothy right has entirely new sentences I don't understand.

Edit: folks stop upvoting this I was missing a cultural reference I didn’t remember.
