I can give you a laundry list right now. For example, millions of vials are cracking around the rim, several of the filling rooms have mold issues, one of the vial hoppers is leaving metal particulates in the vials, weekly OOS for manufacturing impurities..I think the public would freak out if they knew what was happening in the supply chain.

These are pretty extraordinary claims.

If this is in any way true, you need to contact a journalist ASAP. Alex Berenson would love to hear from you.

If this isn't true, then you should delete this immediately.

??? It sounds like he's saying the supply chain is working out normal issues, and the FDA is rightly holding it back until they are resolved. I don't see anything newsworthy about that. Certainly could be misquoted/smudged for some great clickbait though.

The way I'm interpreting the statement is that these issues are happening today during the production of Covid vaccines that have already been approved and are being sent out.
Yes, what we need is anecdata that early random failures mean the world is ending, quick find a conspiracy pot boiler like Berenson.
I think this is just a normal part of the scale up process, and why things are time consuming.

The AZ vaccine seems to be the best candidate as it can be distributed at fridge temperature. It looks like the novavax vaccine (protein + adjuvant design) may actually prevent invection. The goal of the 1st generation of vaccines is to prevent severe illness.

For which vaxes? How do you know this?
