Do we know that a "minor version update" could never cause a problem like the 1976 Swine Flu vaccine that was rushed to mass deployment and killed far more people than that flu did?
- rsfern 5y agoRight, there’s not way to know that without the clinical trials that are required even for small formulation changes, our quantitative understanding of biology is not that good. But there’s plenty of supply chain and manufacturing aspects of the approval that seem like wouldn’t need any more stringency than the ongoing monitoring for the currently approved vaccines, from my lay persons perspective anyway
