Derek is a smart guy but here again we see the utter lack of the ability to think big in the drug community. It would have been worth it to spend a trillion dollars and speculatively build out capacity and manufacturing for every vaccine candidate. We should have built megafactories and employed a million people.
And we should have done large-scale phase 3 trials by randomizing distribution of large fractions of the output of these megafactories.
It's just completely wrong to say that everything was done as well as it could possibly have been and there's no way it could have been faster. There basically no amount of money that it would not have been worth it to spend.
