While this might seem too far for you, the idea that they have no logistical capability to mass produce and distribute the vaxx is just basic logic about the world and their shoddy setup.
This is why bad writers poorly writing a game world that has no internal logic don't write good games.
What you're saying is logical and sensible, but you're making that argument in a game where there was no logic, there was no sense, and as you pointed out, it's clear that the writers didn't know what they were talking about half the time.
Yes, formulating a vaccine would require a massive lab, chemical vats, precision instrumentation, and probably many hard-to-acquire reagents.
But formulating a functional society requires fresh water, large-scale farming, sanitation, and cooperation.
The game decided to literally wave it's hand and determine that absolutely fuck-all about any of that was actually needed, so why do they need a vaccine lab? The writer just had to write one line claiming they could do it and who can say otherwise? 'Well we never see the lab', well we never see what the fuck this retarded cannibal village is eating to sustain a thousand people, up in the mountains, in winter, with nearly no vehicles. They just somehow survive because the game needed them to.
We ask the same questions as to how the nuclear-blasted ruins of Washington DC in Fallout 3 can somehow sustain an entire village living in a rusted aircraft carrier surrounded by a million billion Supermutants that look like they require 12,000 calories a day of pure protein to sustain their killer gains. There's zero farming, zero logistics, nothing at all. Everyone just survives because that's what they need the game to do. Christ the entire fucking game plot revolves around the fact that all the water is pure poison, what the fuck is everybody actually drinking then?
You don't ask because the writer didn't know either.

My problem with arguments like this is that... it's a game. Nobody else in this game actually had any means to survive, yet, somehow they did. See the aforementioned cannibal village - that society makes zero sense, there were way too many people to form a functional society that were all murderous psychopaths, they had no resources up in the mountains, no farming, it made zero sense.
Whether or not the Fireflies actually had the capacity to produce a vaccine is entirely up to whether or not the writer wanted to literally just wave his hand and make it happen. It doesn't actually require a vaccine fabrication lab, it just requires them saying that they can do it and tadah, they can do it. That's the advantage of being a lousy writer. We ask the same questions as to how the nuclear-blasted ruins of Washington DC in Fallout 3 can somehow sustain an entire village living in a rusted aircraft carrier surrounded by a million billion Supermutants that are all jacked on creatine and killer gains. There's zero farming, zero logistics, nothing at all. Everyone just survives because that's what they need the game to do.
If nothing else in this game made a lick of fucking sense, why shouldn't that? The Fireflies had everything they needed to make a vaccine, it was just one sentence excluded from the script that determined that.
But everybody just
