Quite so. Do you have any view on the possibility of pathogenic priming in these Vaccines? It seemed to be a problem for cov1 Vaccines in animal trials which seem to have been minimal for this current round.

right. In addition the biggest untold story of 2020 might also be that 0% of Moderna vaccine doses have been sold to low/middle income countries

Moderna has some of the smallest production capacity combined with a rather high price. That might explain it.

That’s a bit of a slippery slope fallacy. He is speaking specifically about a vaccine developed using mRNA technology in the setting of a pandemic, and he didn’t say that clinical trials should be done away with. It is reasonable to look at making the process more streamlined.

If there's a scandal to be found, it's that it used to take 20x longer. But even that's largely a function or technological progress, more volunteers and more rapid, albeit tragic, infection in the placebo group. I do like the US motto: cut red tape, don't cut corners.

Sounds like a great way of combining a lack of scientific understanding with an irrational aversion to any form of government regulation.

Eh, the point is crap, but there is an interesting argument to be made- knowing what we know now, we would happily have started taking the vaccine in January. So how can we shorten the total scientific and bureaucratic process to achieve certainty of safety and efficacy earlier?
