"Maybe KBLB should have had plans in place for a global pandemic"
baloney...it took kim 5 freakin years to get the ok to bring ds worms into vietnam...
then it took many months of quarantine before they were allowed into prodigy...
after all that, kim still used every damn egg he had instead of holding back a few just in case things didnt go right...because everything has ALWAYS gone so well...right?..
if kim HADNT used all the eggs he had, he could have built up a supply again and would have been at tonnage a long time ago...
but since he DID stupidly use every egg, and KNOWING how long it took to get the eggs into vietnam and the length of quarantine, one would have thought he would have immediately jumped all over getting ds flown into vietnam...ASAP!..
but for some reason...he didnt?..because.....?
no one has to even take the pandemic into account...take it completely out of the equation...and the fact remains the fault is all on kim...pandemic or no pandemic...
the one thing that bothers me about all this is that im not even sure that the pandemic prevented more eggs from being shipped into vietnam...
there were hoops to jump thru...2 week quarantines for anyone delivering the eggs, etc etc...but i never saw where there was anything saying they couldnt be brought in...that 10 months ahd to go by before it was possible...
there were plenty of restrictions on tourists and unnecessary travel and such...but there was definitely products and goods being brought in and shipped out this whole time...vietnam manufacturing and production WAS NOT shut down...
it doesnt even appear that kim made any real effort at all to bring in a new batch of ds worms...
im getting the impression that whatever worms kblb had would not do....and that the failure of the fall production attempt was not due to weather or pesticides but was due to the failure of the eggs/worms themselves...
it never made any sense that kim used every egg he had on hand at prodigy...and you know what?...i dont think he did...
it didnt make sense that kim could not get a new batch of worms into vietnam in the last ten months...and i dont think that was the problem at all...i think he knew the worms he had in michigan werent going to work...because they were the same ones that failed last Fall...
look at the recent pr...i couldnt figure out why he worded it the way he did...but it makes sense if there had been a problem with the previous eggs...
"announces that it has completed production and genetic screening of its latest batch of spider silk silkworm eggs. These specialized silkworm eggs are now ready for shipment to Vietnam to restart commercial production."
my original thought was that kblb should have had millions of eggs frozen, just waiting to be delivered for the last ten months...
but the announcement says they just completed production of the eggs they are sending to prodigy?...the "specialized" eggs???
