I've been following Moderna's vaccine from the beginning. It was developed in 25 days from first virus DNA synthesis. https://www.modernatx.com/modernas-work-potential-vaccine-ag... but it's going to take maybe a year to be approved by the FDA. All phase 3 trials are looking good. I personally would take this vaccine right now but the FDA will not allow me to do this.
How is the FDA's reputation going to hold up when they approve all these vaccines a year or more after they were created and cost the lives of millions and trillions of dollars?
The FDA had no pandemic vaccine approval protocol which could have speed up the process. They could have used challenge trials with young healthy people. I can think of a pre approved process for mRNA vaccines where the delivery methods are approved but the only thing that changes is the mRNA payload.
I blame the government healthcare organizations for a lot of the impact from covid-19. First, they were anti-mask during the first major increase in the virus and now they are being overly cautious in approval of vaccines. They are way off on their cost - benefit math.
