Well, they claim to be out of the stuff, and if it’s not officially done with development, they probably haven’t begun scaling up the process of making it so they could make new amounts with any speed. (OTOH, might be simple process, and therefore simple to ramp up too, I have no idea)

This drug is made by genetically engineering tobacco plants to produce the antibodies. It takes time for plants to grow. Plus, there are issues about the yield per plant, and the size of the production facility, which may be quite small, considering that they have only done small scale animal studies so far.
