From what I have heard about the development of COVID vaccines, the research started with the SARS outbreak. All that was needed was a sample of the COVID virus - provided by the Peter Doherty Institute - and testing could get underway. Government bureaucracy, albeit the CSIRO, was heavily involved.
However, I think that LP has a valid point about Governments and forward planning. They are wedded to the election cycle and refuse to provide long term funding for future-proofing exercises, be they health, housing, education, energy, environment, etc.
The problem with the syringes is not quantity; there are more than enough. It's that the syringes we have waste a small amount of vaccine with every injection. The Federal Government is trying to source syringes that minimise that wastage. Inefficient? Probably. Incompetent? Not really.

Syringes may well be a thing of the past with the nano patch technology the way of the future. Doesn't solve the immediate shortage though.

Well, it happened... I saw footage of anti-vaxxers and sure enough, couple puffing on a cigarette and a number morbidly obese folks (with apologies if it is a medical condition and not a result of gorging).

Did you ever see the tv series "Fortitude " ?
Reality always wins in the end.

Where was this? The first Australian jabs are happening now.
