@pat4az again, there is a difference between CANDIDATE vaccines and mass-produced, ready to ship vaccines that have met all clinical trial expectations.
the official clinical trial process takes a year, minimum, because
they have to know how effective it is over time.

@pat4az First: is it safe to test in healthy people?
Second: does it effectively give immunity to the pathogen?
Third: does immunity last? How long between vaccinations? what dose is most effective?

@pat4az Which vaccines best outlast mutations in the pathogen?
Sure, you could mobilize everyone to get vaccinated instead of phase II, but whatever vaccine you get could cause health issues, or just lose effectiveness over a shorter period of time than expected...

@pat4az And, since people expect that vaccines protect you for a given period of time, if it's effective for less time than you'd anticipate, that is BAD.
Insert all sorts of statements on patient cognitive bias here...

@pat4az So formal process requires re-measurement of response one year after the date of initial inoculation, so you can't expect to go to a doctor and get a vaccination until after that process closes. That's what Fauci was referencing.
I'm talking about special access to candidates.
