"Emergent has destroyed millions of vaccines due to contamination and millions more are being held back for testing to ensure they can be used--all due to Emergent's failure to maintain its facilities, train its staff, and ensure that proper protocols were followed."

"Emergent's failures are so disappointing precisely because these vaccines are so effective. Because the company was unable to deliver, the vaccinations of millions of people around the world have been delayed, putting their lives at needless risk."

"This morning, @COVIDOversight released a Staff Memorandum detailing several concerning findings from our investigation into Emergent.

The documents released today shed light on multiple warnings Emergent received last year regarding serious manufacturing problems at its plant."

"After failing to heed these warnings and contaminating millions of doses of critically-needed vaccines--Emergent determined that its executives' performance merited millions of dollars in bonuses."

"As the coronavirus pandemic continues, @COVIDOversight is focused on identifying shortcomings in our response and correcting them to ensure future success."
