Indeed they promised 120M doses in Q1 and so far delivered 12.3M, out of which about 70% has been administered. While delivering basically exactly as promised to the UK and having a stockpile of 30M doses waiting in a warehouse in the US because they paid a higher per dose price.

I wouldn't use the word "promised" here. The contract , which is public, mentions "Best effort" deliveries only. The promised word is used to by EU officials who made a mess out of it and in articles for views.

True that. There is also a clause the frees AZ from any delivery delays caused by the request of additional doses above the agreed deliveries if these orders had a negative impact on availability. Or something a long these lines. And the EU happened to order more, which is the reason why AZ did rework on the factory, if memory serves well.

There is definetly a couple of case studies for a lot of discipline in that. Besides virology, epidemiology or medcine.

To be fair, AstraZeneca wanted to ship those to Canada and Mexico, but Biden (and earlier Trump) has forbidden exporting vaccines out of US.
