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.
