## What Jamie wrote

This is astonishing, almost unbelievable which makes me want to look for some further information.

> Gates said the top seven vaccine candidates would be picked, and then building manufacturing capacity would be built for them. "Even though we'll end up picking at most two of them, we're going to fund factories for all seven, just so that we don't waste time in serially saying, 'OK, which vaccine works?' and then building the factory," he said.

Time is of the essence. This isn't the time for capital efficiency arguments. 💊
