Unfortunate? Yes. Do I feel bad for Pfizer? No. For their employees? Yes.

Should a company with as much capital have redundancy in their manufacturing facilities to the point that “shortages” are nearly unthinkable? Absolutely.

This is the problem with just in time supply chains

Covid taught them nothing. It's not short-term profitable so it's unthinkable.
