- 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.
Ok so there has been a glitch. I'm sure that things will get better as the people do it more. There is always a learning curve. But even if 12 or 20 million doses were given we still might not have them here. People just need to be patient. It may be another few weeks or months before you get yours.
