Compared to other vaccines, 40,000 is "kinda untested"

  During a pandemic?

  My research indicated that the median broad-scale vaccine phase III trial is about 22,000 people [1]. I've also seen the 3,000 to 6,000 person range for smaller trials [2].

    I can't seem to find it, but I remember reading that vaccine researchers hold their breaths until 1M people have had it for 8 weeks. In normal times, the J&J vaccine would probably be taken off the market or only recommended for men.

  The f other vaccines had more than 40,000 trial participants. Please list them all. You seem to think there are so many.

    In general terms : Flu , shingles for starters

      Flu vaccine Phase 3 trials with over 40,000 participants? I couldn't find one. Most are in the 15K range. As is the latest shingles vaccine trial: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6590925/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6590925/ (14,759 patients who received two doses of HZ/su (n = 7,344) or placebo (n = 7,415)) So if 40,000 is "kinda untested" than this one must be complete and utter made-up then
