When the risks of cutting these corners are significantly outweighed by the risks of getting to a vaccine slower. With due respect to the many losses from Covid-19 - the numbers are not huge. 0.012% of the world's population has died from Covid over a period of about half a year. The annual death rate of all other causes in the world is 0.77%, or (normalizing to half a year) about 33 times as high. So, Covid is a serious pandemic but not terrible enough to risk significant corner-cutting in vaxine development - as I see it.
