The truth of the matter is that, while efficacy in clinical trials is important, a better supply chain may make the biggest difference in people actually getting the vaccine in real life

This is even more true when you consider that a cheaper supply chain makes the vaccine cheaper too, and most of the world probably will have trouble affording -80 degree cold storage

Also worth noting that a vaccine that is 70% effective in the real world is still good enough to reach herd immunity so in practice it is probably not the deciding factor
