It's semantics at the end of the day. Less tests were done overall in accordance with a prepared in advance plan to rapidly deploy a vaccine in the case of a global pandemic. More risk was taken for more reward. It's questionable if more risk was even taken at all given the unknowns of COVID itself.
At this point the COVID vaccines are among the most "tested" medicines in history just on merit of their huge scale deployment, with them only truly lacking much insight into what happens after 2 years, which is something we hardly know about COVID itself.
