Imagine there's some sort of emergency that requires relatively quick evacuation of a huge area (e.g. an earthquake causes California to start slowly sinking into the ocean).
To help out, Boeing makes a new airframe design based on the C-17 to carry tons of people in a short period of time. The FAA gives emergency approval for the use of this design. Boeing makes a deal with the US government to be immune from legal action if the plane kills anyone. Production begins immediately and is subsidized with taxpayer money.
Then 18 months later, Boeing is still selling the new plane all over the world. The FAA is spinning its wheels on approval. Boeing makes money hand-over-fist. The only people who have not been evacuated don't trust the design.
Arguments for continued use:
>Boeing has been making planes for decades
>The airframe technology has existed in the C-17 for years
>The FAA wouldn't give emergency approval if it wasn't safe
Arguments against continued use:
>Boeing planes have crashed due to design flaws before
>Boeing has been caught colluding with the FAA in the past
Convince me that this isn't what's happening with Pfizer and the covid vaccine. Does anyone here have experience with the FDA? Do you trust their safeguards? Do you trust them to not be influenced by the immense pressure to approve the vaccine?
