@Mosaik they know how long it takes to manufacture so its quite easy for them to give out a timeframe of when the new versions will be ready.

As for why the mandates, ass covering is still happening. Politicians are stupid and malicious. Pharma has lots more money to make off you. Hospitals as well. They found a new source of power and money and they are going to ride that horse till its dead and the flesh rotted off the bone if they can.
