The thing about vaccines is that, because they are preventative measures given to people without disease, it’s not really possible to know if benefits > risks without testing them on large numbers of people; i.e., doing proper phase 3 clinical trials.https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1300080022602969089 …

We are seeing several communities in that situation. I’m thinking a situation like a nursing home or prison cluster.

The ethics of doing such a thing with vulnerable populations like that is...problematic.

It is also clear that an EUA would be abused by anti-vaccine activists and make the vaccination efforts fraught with difficulty. In the end, it may led to worse, rather than better, results and may harm public health efforts with vaccines for many years to come.

Skipping stage iii and putting out a completely untested vaccine.
