No, the government has lost millions in preparation of a possible health crisis that turned out to be a nothingburger in the past, for example millions were spent on a H1N1-vaccine against the swine flu, that ended up getting destroyed. Merkel got a lot of shit for this 10 years ago, but this is what a government should do: be prepared and risk losing money, if the predictions fail to materialize. What a government should not do is force vaccines on its citizens to save face.
Why can't they admit of being wrong this time? Why is it so important for everyone to be jabbed? I guess we'll find out eventually.
