You saw the reports that Johnson and Johnson can't produce their vaccine until April, even if it shows great effectiveness when they report on their Phase 3 trial this month? Apparently, they are having trouble getting manufacturing set up. Not that surprising, commercializing these processes is hard, but disappointing.

I had not actually heard this. Yesterday they reported Phase 1/2 results, and as you mention, Phase 3 results are expected. However, I see this reported here: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/13/johnson-johnson-vaccine-production-458941

It does, in fact, look like they're about two months behind their original manufacturing plans. That's unfortunate, but...really, better late than never.
