theoretically, how long would it actually take to switch over the genetic code in the mRNA vaccines to (say) the delta variant in the pfizer supply chain. One might argue you need to do trials all over again — but maybe not. the manufacturing might be quite reprogrammable

To be more exact, 2 months is the current time to produce vaccine start to delivery. Reprogramming can be done in little time but obviously requires certain tests so the timeframe widens. But none of this gets in the way, the production capacity is the bottleneck.

well the good news is that 2 months is shorter than the rate there new variants are coming through for now, and there’s lots of crossover.
