I am very concerned that moderna is such an incredibly inexperienced company when it comes to actually delivering products. Companies like Pfizer and Astra etc have lots of infrastructure for manufacturing and logistics, as they’ve been making drugs for years. Moderna hasn’t ever released a product before, and now we need them to successfully make hundreds of millions or billions of doses of it very quickly? I have every confidence that the drug itself is safe and effective, but I fear that they won’t be able to deliver on the quantities required.
McKesson is handling distribution for Moderna, and one of the main goals of Operation Warp Speed was to ramp up production using companies who are good at it so the vaccine developers wouldn't necessarily have to do large scale manufacturing themselves.
