They had to pull a few because of side effects during the trials and some just not working. Producing vast amounts before they have been tested at all would have been costly when they had to throw them out.

- cbhl 6y ago> Producing vast amounts before they have been tested at all would have been costly when they had to throw them out. I'm under the impression that's precisely what the world governments did? There were bar charts going around saying that XX% of each country's supply commitments came from Pfizer or Astrazeneca or Moderna or whatever.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed >The program promotes mass production of multiple vaccines, and different types of vaccine technologies, based on preliminary evidence, allowing for faster distribution if clinical trials confirm one of the vaccines is safe and effective. The plan anticipates that some of these vaccines will not prove safe or effective, making the program more costly than typical vaccine development, but potentially leading to the availability of a viable vaccine several months earlier than typical timelines.
