Why were Covid vaccine trials so fast?

There are benefits and costs associated with fast tracking drugs to treat a pandemic.

That should be the debates starting point.

Shouldn't we expect that in an emergency we cut through red tape, reprioritize, etc? Isn't government inefficiency one of the major complaints of the types who call the vaccine "rushed"? If that was ever a good faith argument they should have seen this as a win!

    Just because something happened fast(new forms of vaccine approval), doesn’t make it efficient.

    I believe “the types” are generally opposed to government overreach.

    The government forcing people to adhere to medical regiments against their will is valid to be concerned about.

One wonders why this was flagged. It appears to be a high quality and non-combative analysis of how we were able to advance vaccine development so quickly without losing safety or efficacy?

    What @daveguy said, it talks about Covid and vaccines, two conspiracy-theory hot buttons so of course it'll get flagged the minute it's posted. If you also throw in Epstein, Soros, and Hunter Biden's laptop it'll practically make it self-flagging.

    Because there a bunch of social media deluded asshats that want to argue about it in bad faith. See also: "Fauci caused COVID"

    Unfortunately social media deluded asshats is the prevailing theme of the United States on this 250 year anniversary. See also: "Trumpty Dumpty somehow isn't a corrupt incompetent fraud."

    The nice way to put it: this has, unfortunately, become a political lightning rod.
