> On the upside, we advanced mRNA vaccine technology faster than it ever could have been done under the normal overly cautious test protocols. that's not quite true. they didn't change anything fundamental in the test protocols they just compressed them a bit and cut out some red tape by submitting some things early instead of at the end of the trials like it would normally be done. it also reached the endpoints faster because they could get significant data because the virus was so contagious; it's not like some other virus that spreads much slower like say aids.
