Interesting topic, not sure how many here work in healthcare. Both my wife and I work in healthcare, she in patient care in radiology me in sales radiology/surgery. I can back up the COVID numbers falling off a cliff at least locally to us. I think the public at large misunderstands FDA review/approval protocols which by and large unless you are really into that kind of stuff who cares.
It makes sense that both Pfizer and Moderna went ultra conservative in testing and what data was submitted for review, keep in mid both companies had a ton at stake with what in the business is called at risk manufacturing (doses ready to go into arms as soon as given the green light). You want that to go right or its untold millions down the tubes. The manufacture I sell equipment used in surgery and many others use at risk manufacturing, then as more data is compiled product refinements are made. These sometimes result in the need to resubmit data to FDA for approval sometimes not. This at risk manufacturing had a huge role in how quickly this vaccine was produced.
