It should be clear by this point that we aren’t really capable of ramping up production fast enough for many of the resources needed during a pandemic. Whether one attributed that to ignorance, incompetence, malice, or conspiracy doesn’t really matter; at the end of the day, the improvements we demand aren’t happening as fast as we’d like.

I don't agree. If you ramp up production and millions get vaccinated with the expectation that it will protect them then it doesn't there will be tremendous antipathy and distrust of medical science as a result.
