Do we have evidence for the rushed-to-markedness of any of the vaccines?
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoIt's happening way faster than normal for a vaccine, so... yes?
- voisin 6y agoI read that most vaccines take 5-7 years to get approved. This one is less than a year. I worry that corners have been cut. Is that irrational?
- st1x7 6y agoIt's not irrational at all but it also doesn't answer my question. Worrying comes from uncertainty. If you had evidence (in either direction), your uncertainty would go down and you would either not worry as much or you would have a good reason to think that the vaccine might be unsafe. So my question is what evidence do we have that corners have been cut? Are you basing all of this only on the reduced time to produce the vaccine?
- wh-uws 6y agoI see this take a lot. I encourage people to research this more deeply i.e. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/30/opinion/coronavirus-covid-vaccine.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/30/opinion/coron... To my understanding the things that are being fast tracked are all the bureaucratic red tape and but covering stuff. Not the actual science. If any of the science was rushed we could have had the vaccines as early as this summer. But a phase 3 human trail takes 8 months. There is just absolutely no way to rush that part as constructed

- masonic 6y ago"Rushed"? The vaccines are essentially unchanged since their formulation as early as March. Everything since then has been testing, not creation or modification (only some experimentation with respect to dosing). You want "rushed"? Get a flu shot.
- st1x7 6y agoMaybe you responded to my comment by mistake. I never claimed that it's rushed - I asked for evidence of it being rushed since that's what the original poster is concerned about.
