Drugs giant Pfizer is preparing to ship over a billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines, using frozen boxes, cargo planes and trucks

By Costas Paris Close Costas Paris and Jared S. Hopkins Close Jared S. Hopkins Updated Oct. 21, 2020 6:13 am ET In Kalamazoo, Mich., a stretch of land the size of a football field has been turned into a staging ground outfitted with 350 large freezers, ready to take delivery of millions of doses of Covid-19 vaccine before they can be shipped around the world.

“It’s the biggest-ever vaccination campaign,” said Tanya Alcorn, Pfizer’s supply-chain vice president. “If we get the FDA approval, we will be able to ship the vaccines very shortly after.” The U.S. government placed an initial order for 100 million doses, with the option to purchase 500 million additional doses. The EU ordered 200 million doses with an option for another 100 million. Japan ordered 120 million doses and the U.K. 30 million. Countries in South America and in the Asia-Pacific region also have placed significant orders.

Pfizer says it is preparing for distribution in case the vaccine wins authorization, with hundreds of thousands of doses already in the company’s warehouses in the U.S. and Europe. Pfizer expects to load those boxes on a combined 24 trucks a day from Kalamazoo and Puurs that will move roughly 7.6 million doses daily to airports.

Anyone willing to put this shit in their own body is mad. The only cure for this scamdemic is common sense. Sadly that is a rare thing these days.

Trump’s warp speed program.

But first, the vaccine.

If they have the vaccine why the mask

petromatrix Um, no

What's the hurry...? We 3rd Worlders were kinda getting immune to it... a marked strategy or is it affecting creator's own instead of us... NumbKhopdi

Nope Nope no thank you

IN 47 YEARS BIDEN CAME UP WITH ONLY ONE JOB.THAT JOB WAS FOR HIS SON HUNTER.

All five of them? How much were you paid to run that stupid shot just before the election?

To where?

Trump!!! Winning!

And that bit of news, is a spectacular spectacular, bite of a nothing-burger.

I'll wait and see how many die first

boycottfranceproducts FranceBoycott ShameOnFrance StopIslamophobia

Well nobody’s gonna take any vaccines until Trump is outta office and the FDA and CDC regains credibility.

$pfe good shii... let’s see

Vaccine is years out, the PR to pump their stock is unreal as well as all other firms Moderna etc etc etc

Maybe Pfizer could use trump's Space Force ... for faster and quicker distribution. Just sayin.

***SOMETHING ELSE JOE COULDNT DO IT 47 YEARS, OR 8 AS VP***

petra_jansa Prevoz v hladni verigi in distribucija v hladni verigi bo res velik logistični zalogaj!

Pfizer doing remarkable things in the vaccine campaign and have been enabled by the administration

I'm in the Moderna's vaccine trial pool. It's a much better vaccine, and doesn't have the Pfizer's ridiculous cold temperature requirement.

What do we know about the vaccine itself?

we all gonna die Lord. Jesus take the wheel!

Which one is the General?

“Prepping” is good but means NOTHING until they have the actual vaccine to distribute and they DON’T yet! Don’t try to spin this into something that trump wants you to promote

Ted/Mitch YOU DECIDED TO KEEP AN INCOMPETENT PERSON IN THE WHITE HOUSE! His continuing FAILURE TO MANAGE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS RESPONSE to the Pandemic HAS NOW resulted in 230,086 DEATHS AS 30 Million unemployed lose healthcare WITH RECORD Bankruptcies, Foreclosures&Evictions

Let's Go!!!!

And just like that: liberals are anti vaxxers!

This vaccine must be refrigerated. How many days can it go without refrigeration? How does the vaccine degrade and what does it do to the human body?

How do they get it to patients?

Don’t we have to wait to see if it works?

After November 3rd, will JoeBiden be able to take credit for this plan? JoeBidensNeighborhood BidenHarris2020Landslide IChooseAmerica CorruptionMustEnd Corruption COVID19

EnWaveCorp can’t you help them out by using your tech? I thought your machines could potentially eliminate the need for refrigeration. This could be a mega opportunity if it worked!

yeah, that's what we be hearing. but why hasent the head of the HHS, FDA, etc..., know about this and keep saying the vaccines wont be avail til next year?

AMAZING what a TRUE National Leader can do when they are HONEST with their people. The President continues to fail badly, Joe WILL BE EXPECTED to find a way to achieve the same results as Jacinda Ardern has. With 60 Million Americans already voting, we expect positive RESULTS!

it hasn't even been a year and a half, this vaccine will undeniably have serious problems and needs more testing done.

They are ready to make tons of money for a vaccine that is useless.

Ice block chilling still works.

Eh, if there was to be a vaccine, why would the logistics guys need masks?

To translate: WSJ support nazzi Pfizer to earn more money by selling the product that cannot save no one, because there is no virus. But, in other way, it can definitely kill and damage the health of stupid sheeps that will accept this poison.

Suggest they switch to decaf and discover the vaccine first.

No thanks. You can have mine🖕

The image for the headline looks like an onion article. They might need more than 6 people, just a thought.

no, thanks

in 2026

I thought Trump is going to send in the armies.

👏👏👏

Thanks Trump

Did Pfizer spend $2 billion or did the taxpayers give them $2 billion?

Wouldn't take if it came in a Tiffany box

Interesting!! So what does this mean for us forex traders? Currencies to look out for?

International class action lawsuit against the Corona hoax perpetrators:

That will be great “if” they come up with an effective, safe vaccine.

Thank you President Trump, Biden would still be talking about closing the country, Never Biden the Crime Family Boss aka The Big Guy!

you to can get a shot next spring but trump promised we would have it now

999 million too many doses for a vaccine promoted by the liar in chief

I'm surprised the president hasn't requested use of private cargo planes for emergency shipments. I'd have Fedex/UPS/USPS/Amazon/etc. all forced to make these shipments a top priority. If that requires delaying other shipments to help restart the economy, so be it.

SCBrain Fabulous! Now we just need the vaccine. Great to prepare the SupplyChain

Has this vaccine completed successful clinical trials and been approved?

I can’t trust them.

What does vaccine to patient look like?

thank you Donald Trump

And how are the receiving end going to store vaccines for Virus? Why are vaccines being shipped before approval by FDA?

I didnt know we were ready for mass dist. virus vaccine drjashton gma

DreadJedi Which they have been making since 2015

Lies cost lives!

Fake news, there is no vaccine.

Sure that's great but when exactly is that going happen ? Meanwhile why can't this administration get control of the virus like other countries have with simple solutions like increased testing contact tracing and wearing a mask . Herd immunity has never worked Atlas is wrong

Any proven vaccine should be made available free to all humanity.

Minus 70 degrees ?

Billions must be made

This vaccine must be kept at -80 centígrados. It will be difficult to keep it properly , depending on the location

Is it safe?!? Does it work?!? Where’s the scientific proof?!?

It's 1984 😡😱☠☣

What? What? Come on!

They already know the vaccine works. Eric Topol and other liberal scientists strong armed Pfizer not to seek approval before the election. These are politically motivated delays that will result in deaths.

So 1/7 people will get one. And no one knows how long it'll be effective. Or if it'll be effective for everyone. Or against every strain.

So that’s where all our freezer and appliance manufacturers back orders have gone to! The use of an unproven tax payer subsidized vaccine logistics Federal profiting package that will probably trash the equipment in a matter of months.

The government can use the arm forces to move the vaccine faster and better.

The supply chain was forced to adapt during the initial wave of the pandemic and we are already preparing to do so again for a vaccine. We have the experience, resources and insight to facilitate distribution in a way that no outside agency can come close to.
