A few months ago I remember there were interviews and articles with immunologists and virologists. There seemed to be a consistent sentiment with many of them at least that the Pfizer and Moderna protocol intervals were kind of suboptimal from an immunology perspective. The conclusion was that many in the field saw it as obvious that the two companies were trying to maximize the probability of vaccine efficacy in as short of period of time as possible (I don't think they saw the companies as acting immorally, just that they saw it as not making sense unless you understood the time constraints). Many of the people interviewed commented that with unlimited time and lack of public health constraints, they would have expected smaller doses given longer apart.
I guess my point is, I'm not an expert in this area but there was a lot of chatter earlier that this was kind of predictable or something.
