French Pharma Giant Sanofi To Produce Rivals’ Covid Vaccines
The title of this post, isthe same as that of this article on The Times.
This is the introductory paragraph.
A growing sense of national failure in France over the inability to produce a viable Covid-19 vaccine has been compounded by the decision of its largest pharmaceutical company to produce doses developed by its rivals, Pfizer and Biontech.
France doesn’t seem to have backed the right horse!
But at least producing doses of the Pfizer vaccine will help to solve Europe’s severe vaccine shortage.
It was all probably a degree of luck involved here but the world should be working together to leverage the manufacturing available to produce enough doses for the global population. As I understand it the beauty of the vaccine is you can a small amount and it can be grown to a much larger quantity over a period time before its packaged up for jabs. BoJo siting on the fence and the Mail gloating isn’t going to help us in the long term as until the global population is protected we all remain at some risk and restricted in travelling.
