I think the key "emergency use" is missed. The question is what are we going to do when you need something right away in a pandemic situation. The point here has nothing to do with "avoiding" trials - that I will never advocate. But there are enough situations that require us to think "outside the box". at that point, magic cannot happen. we need build things systemically as science progresses...

Even in a pandemic situation, I'd not sure I'd ever use a model if I could do a phased rollout in terms of safety. And if it's so bad - that you have no option but to give it to everyone now - well you have no option... I suppose the practical problem right now is not so much about the risks of one individual vaccine, but rather choosing between the many many candidates. How would you go about that?
