Solyndra was inconsequential. And it was part of a package of knowingly risky bets that was overall very successful. Warp Speed was the same. They invested in lots of vaccine trials with the expectation that some would fail and they would absorb the cost. There were a lot of manufacturing miscues and money that was misspent but that was all baked into the program expectations. Same with the clean energy funding of which Solyndra took part.
