The most mind boggling fact for me is that glass vials are a bottleneck. We have all these high tech stuff, $50k a gram chemicals, custom built machines, DNA printers and nano-scale technologies producing a substance where every atom is at the right place. And all that is produced at a scale where we are limited by glass vials. That's literally ancient technology, and commodity stuff. Ok, it is a bit fancier than what the Romans had, but these are still just glass bottles. The glass vial part is expected, things get complicated when multiplied by a billion, but it gives a sense of how much vaccine is being produced and how fast it is done. |
