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.

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