How Corning’s Gorilla Glass Tech Helped Deliver Covid Vaccines
Corning just opened a new pharmaceutical vial manufacturing factory in Durham, North Carolina, where it said it can produce 500 million glass vials per year to deliver Covid-19 vaccines and other drugs to the U.S. and abroad. The factory was developed and deployed in record time thanks in part to the $204 million funding from the federal government as a part of Operation Warp Speed.
Corning said its vials have been used for more than three billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines over the past 18 months.
Corning CEO Wendell Weeks plans to grow the pharmaceutical side of the business and said it will be “billions of dollars of opportunity” for the glass manufacturing giant.
Corning’s vials borrow technology from Gorilla Glass, made for Apple iPhones, which makes them less likely to break or scratch and able to withstand the super cold temperatures needed for storing the Covid vaccine.
Watch the video to get a first look inside Corning’s new factory and to see how vaccine vials are made.

@8:59 yeah right, "quite certain of it" are you?? Your certainly wrong. Change your tone:
James 4:13-16 (KJV) 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

Government welfare for the business class. Where are your investors Mr. Capitalist? Why could you not put up the cash for profits? No, you take those government funds as if you are a socialist business. This is not capitalism Corning you are getting social welfare when it should be going to the citizens.

Someone help me out here. He said the produce 70 Billion dosages a year.
There’s about 8 billion people on earth. We need 2 shots per person. So we need 16 billion doses of the vaccine to cover all of humanity. Let’s round up to 20 billion just because. What are the other 50 BILLION doses a year being made for?
