I don't know how many doses they can produce in a day but it's going to take a while to produce 330 million. Then they have to produce another 330 million. Then there is the issue with this product having to be stored at -95 degrees. Transportation and distribution are going to take a while.

We're only 16 days out people.
I replied to something similar a day or so ago, but here goes again:

- There were going to be 100M doses available in December
- Or maybe only 50M due to production problems
- But only 25M be administered with the other half held for the 2nd dose
- But they were only able to ship about 20M
- Or maybe they only shipped 12M
- And the best information we have heard is about 2.1M doses went into arms.

So no, 330M in 14 days was always unachievable and never proposed or expected but we were promised something significantly more than 2.1M actually given.
