The automotive industry made the mistake of cancelling their orders during Corona and were then surprised to find that the capacities were allocated elsewhere when they wanted to order again.
So they whined at the government to subsidise the fab.
What about the AstraZeneca sending "best effort" vacc doses to the UK with ~100% but "best effort" the EU got ~30% of what it ordered? (sure I guess the EU will not again sign contracts that contain "best effort").
Not to mention that the AstraZeneca vaccine was developed by the Oxford university and they planned to release it with costs until the Gates foundation convinced them to sell it.
