No I'm not forgetting about that. It's just that manufacturing was never the time constraint on how fast a vaccine could be produced. It's regulatory time. The manufacturing process was also shortened (and parallelized, as you pointed out), but you can see from this chart that the main savings was shortening a 4 year regulatory process to 6 months. https://media.defense.gov/2020/Aug/13/2002476369/-1/-1/0/200...
