So let me get this straight:
>Vaccines, even the ones for animals, typically take 10 or 20 years for proper testing. COVID-19 ones will be tested in less than 1 year total.
>Instead of going for tried and true methods (like inactivated virus vaccines, like china is using for their citizens), all western companies decide to use super modern techniques (mrna, chimpanzee adenovirus), that have never been applied to humans before.
>People are ok with this.
I understand the average scientifically illiterate public being alright with this, but why isn't academia freaking out? People are literally paying to be test subjects. Anyone using an mrna or chimp adenovirus vaccine when an inactivated virus one is available is willingly being a test subject for the biggest immunology experiment ever ran in the history of this planet.
Please tell me I'm wrong and explain how. I'm freaking out over this.
