"Only the manufacturer"?

You mean the company that scaled up production to hundreds of millions of doses, ran clinical trials in dozens of countries for tens of thousands of patients, put together all the regulatory documentation for dozens of countries, including negotiations with regulators, then developed a worldwide logistics system to get the vaccine where it's needed. And did all that with few stumbles in less than a year.

So yeah, they are "just the manufacturer".

But they re like Fosun, one of several. Ofc it s amazing how Fosun managed to vaccinate a million of us in Hong Kong, shipping ultra cold vaccines from Germany and setting up factories soon in Singapore. But man, the vaccine is made by Biontech and without them fosun would be shipping nothing at all.

As for Pfizer, they do nothing at all for me in Hong Kong, see ?

No, they aren't like Fosun. Fosun took possession of finished product and sent it to people doing the vaccinations. That's it.

Pfizer did: 1) scaled up production to hundreds of millions of doses, 2) ran clinical trials in dozens of countries for tens of thousands of patients, 3) put together all the regulatory documentation for dozens of countries, including negotiations with regulators, 4) then developed a worldwide logistics system to get the vaccine where it's needed, including to local distributors like Fosun.
