I thought this was an interesting quote from the M

We also believe that governments should invest in large-scale vaccine manufacturing prior to successful results for all viable candidates despite some not making it to market. Only by building production capacity now can governments provide the billions of vaccine doses we need to meet demand for the 2021 season.
This implies to me that its not a race. Anyone with a viable vaccine is part of the solution.
Lets say we need 4 billion vaccines to get the planet to herd immunity. Also that 15 companies develop a viable vaccine. This means each company's vaccine will treat 200m people. At $10 a pop that's a cool $2b to NGIO top line
