This is true, however, vaccine manufacture is incredibly complex - especially for a novel one, and one that had to be stored at such a low temperature. And that complexity translates into incredibly time and expenditure to establish new manufacturing facilities - how did they have time to set up the plants AND after the huge lead time to establish the plants it still would have taken time to manufacture 24 billion doses - the only way it could have been done is if you had foreknowledge and you had the plants ready and already set-up and all you had to do is flick the production switch.
The answer is, once these plants are set, they can make way, way more than 1 vaccine per second.

How about the glass vials ?
Where did all that plexiglass come from???
I just can't imagine the waste of having plants 'set' and waiting for the next pandemic to roll out, when they only come along every 50-100 years.
So it circles back to the set-up.
Less than a year from [outbreak], the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine became the first ever mRNA vaccine available for widespread use.
... Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine was first tested in humans less than three months after news of the novel virus broke.
This has been in the works since at least 2014
