> manufacturers have no clue what to do.

Sounds like bad news. But can the manufacturers meet among themselves to hash it out? Would they? And if they did, would they make a worse or different decision than if the FDA were involved?

Just trying to see a way this could turn out ok.

The decisions will still be made, but by other Northern Hemisphere countries. Manufacturing might remain local, since the infrastructure is there. Or maybe that will get shutdown if it is cheaper to ship from India or China.

I'm pretty sure manufacturers could, but that would increase their costs. The US did it for them for free.

So we're either going to get insanely expensive flu vaccines or none at all.
