> 3. We did not pay producers through the nose like UK or Israel did which affected our place in the queue.

This is obviously a huge mistake when the vaccines basically pay for themselves.

Although from what i understand you had to buy them before they figured out if they worked. So either hope you get lucky with what one you buy, or pay through the nose for all of them which is cost prohibitive.

Cost prohibitive but still net revenue positive to governments, even with that uncertainty.
