Except it isn't just this vaccine. This month alone there has been a shortage of 110 medicines. https://www.ashp.org/drug-shortages/current-shortages/drug-shortages-list?page=CurrentShortages&sort=2

A big one is Amoxicillin.

Yes, because almost every industry has been affected for years now. I just explained that.

I really don't know what point you're trying to make lmao, that there's shortages in just about every industry because of a global pandemic impacting every single aspect of life for 2 years, with 7 MILLION dead?

Okay? And businesses can't fix their supply lines in 2 years? Or are they milking it by purposefully creating shortages to drive up prices?

You can't suddenly unkill 7 million people buddy. It hasn't been just... 2 years of waiting to fix a single supply issue. There wasn't like, one single event. The pandemic is still raging in many places, especially China, where most of the supplies come from.

Shifting decades of entrenched industry and dealing with fallouts and ripple effects across every branch of industry is something that can't be fixed overnight, especially with a recession in action.

Good news is shipping prices have finally started coming back down, but that usually takes 8 months to trickle down to stores who already have a year's worth of inventory

There’s no “fuckery”, just shortsighted greed and the inevitable results of refusing to stockpile necessities, and then the interruption of the supply chain by the deaths of millions and the disability of millions more

There is fuckery, but this ain’t it.
