Sure, but what about the other 10's to 100's of Corona vaccines that are currently undergoing phase 2 and 3 trials?
I'm not convinced by the argument that developing and approving a vaccine this fast is mainly possible because of technological advances that happen to be in sync with the pandemic.
- Ensorceled 6y agoIt's NOT the development that is fast ... it's the green lighting for proceeding through the phases. The FDA accelerating these trials very much "happen to be in sync with the pandemic"
- bboygravity 6y agoAre you arguing that it's the norm to go from we want to develop a vaccine against this new disease to here's a vaccine ready for trials within months is the general norm? Regardless of the massive speedup and exceptions given by the FDA, you don't agree that the lab part of the development was slightly (understatement) faster than usual?

I actually have no idea. In any case, technology that gives the possibility of going fast doesn't mean every single usage of it will go fast.
