Snip
The federal government has moved to stop any further risk of contamination at a Baltimore contract vaccine manufacturer where 15 million potential doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine were spoiled last month, telling rival drugmaker AstraZeneca it must move its production from the plant and find somewhere else to make its vaccine.

The Emergent BioSolutions plant in Baltimore was making coronavirus vaccines under contract to both Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca. Last month, a batch of Johnson & Johnson “drug product” failed quality control and was taken out of production, both J&J and Emergent have said.

The federal government has directed Johnson & Johnson to fully take over its vaccine production at the plant, an administration official told CNN Saturday. The company confirmed it was taking tighter control of the production process....

None of the contaminated Johnson & Johnson vaccine had been packaged or shipped, and the plant’s operation making it had not been approved. All J&J vaccine used in the US was made at a plant in the Netherlands.

1. Wasn't AstraZeneca one of the 2 drug manufacturers

that took Trump's Warp Speed money? I believe Pfizer also took it. Not saying it's wrong, just saying.

3. All manufacturers except Pfizer took Warp Speed funds

Not sure of your point- Pfizer uses the Emergent facility too.

4. Pfizer does not use the Emergent facility.

The Emergent facility was supposed to have been making AstraZeneca and Johnson& Johnson covid vaccines. Now AstraZeneca is not going to be made there, only Johnson & Johnson.
