But what if there is a factory that can spit out lots of effective vaccines if given the recipe? Shouldn’t we use every resource available?

How much do you think this factory would charge for a vaccine? How much would it cost to standup a factory and if it was simple, why hasn't it been stood up already?

If such a factory existed, it'd be making vaccines already.

It feels like the people saying that have a stake in the existing vaccine manufacturers.

There is a pharmaceutical industry in India that is not being given the opportunity to get in this fight and some people say they could help and others say they can’t.

So give them a chance and test if they can!

Yes, the most likely reason why someone would have a different opinion is because they're somehow invested - emotionally, financially, whatever - in the existing vaccine manufacturers.
