As for a production facility, this has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines, it won't be ready till after the whole world is vaccinated, it's a good facility to build, but if we were actually prioritizing this, we'd be repurposing existing buildings under emergency measures.
I personally believe that COVID-19 will not disappear this year, in spite of the vaccinations. There will be further variants -- we already have three major ones -- and at some point there will be a need for booster vaccinations to deal with those. Maybe not with the same level of urgency as now, but the need will nevertheless be there.
