Moderna would probably be happy to license their next vaccine to someone who did invest in a factory. The price would be probably be affordable. I'm not sure it is worth it though, only time will tell if a booster shot is needed.

booster shots for variants are almost guaranteed to be needed.

Everyone says that, and work is ongoing, but so far the current vaccines are holding against variants. Time will tell.

"Their next vaccine" does not need to be a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
