Peoples' brains do not want to admit this fact, because the next thing to admit after that is how many people we killed, and how many economies we destroyed, waiting a year to roll it out. People are deeply bought into "wear two masks / Dr Fauci / etc", don't want to understand

Most drugs can be physically manufactured quickly. I could put bleach in a syringe in a few minutes and most of that time is finding my gloves. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t have to test. They absolutely did have to prove safety and efficacy. What are you talking about?

Even if you think the testing had to take as long as it did (it didn't), there are all sorts of things real leaders would have done, for example, paid for full production of vaccines under assumption that testing would likely succeed, so we would have a full supply much earlier.

You know like three of the potential vaccines failed and were abandoned in testing. Also production was ramped in anticipation of approval. It was just spread around because...a few failed. Also the logistics of mRNA is harder because it’s a new process so few can do it.
