Stéphane Bancel, said the ongoing uptick in vaccine production shows that by the middle of next year, there will be more than enough doses for the global population.
"If you look at the industry-wide expansion of production capacities over the past six months, enough doses should be available by the middle of next year so that everyone on this earth can be vaccinated. Boosters should also be possible to the extent required,"
Clearly that denotes a capacity-production rather than will problem
International Organizations, Vaccine Manufacturers Agree to Intensify Cooperation to Deliver Covid-19 Vaccines / Fourth Meeting of the Multilateral Leaders Task Force on Scaling COVID-19 Tools September 16, 2021
The Task Force expressed concerns that without urgent steps the world is unlikely to achieve the end-2021 target of vaccinating at least 40% of the population in all countries—a critical milestone to end the pandemic and for global economic recovery.
A milestone that of course shifts many times and does not end at 40%
NB: at present 40% have received at least one dose of a vaccine. That is truly a remarkable achievement if you think about it

Then we have this https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/Staff-Discussion-Notes/Issues/2021/05/19/A-Proposal-to-End-the-COVID-19-Pandemic-460263 and their targets with their respective timelines

NB: they have more than achieved their target for Dec 2021 in high-income countries
So was this a distraction tactic by Moderna's CEO?
