On the upside, we advanced mRNA vaccine technology faster than it ever could have been done under the normal overly cautious test protocols.
This technology is going to save countless lives and healtcare dollars in the future, so it was for the best, even if it was an accident.

- fwungy 4y agoThe FDA is filled with antivaxxer sympathizers who throw lots of blocks and hurdles into vaccine testing. Many of the procedures can be shortened with absolutely no loss of safety. A lot of amazing vaccines have been killed under these protocols.
- fasteddie31003 4y agoWow we are really never going to learn anything from the pandemic. Listen to yourself, "done under the normal overly cautious test protocols". The lesson we need to learn from the pandemic origin is that we need to be "more" cautious with bleeding edge medical research. The cost/benefit is not there for a lot of research if there is a tiny chance a mistake can kill millions people unintentionally.
