Researchers fast-track coronavirus vaccine by skipping key animal testing first
A clinical trial for an experimental coronavirus vaccine has begun recruiting participants in Seattle, but researchers did not first show that the vaccine triggered an immune response in animals, as is normally required.
Now, biomedical ethicists are calling the shortcut into question, according to Stat News.
"Outbreaks and national emergencies often create pressure to suspend rights, standards and/or normal rules of ethical conduct," Jonathan Kimmelman, director of McGill University’s biomedical ethics unit, wrote in an email to Stat News. "Often our decision to do so seems unwise in retrospect."
Typically, vaccine development can take 15 to 20 years, start to finish, Mark Feinberg, president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, told Stat News. The lengthy process requires that scientists first give the vaccine to animals to determine whether it's safe and effective at preventing the disease in question. Only after passing through iterative tests in animal models, and being adjusted along the way, can a formulation be tested in human trials.
Animal tests normally constitute a critical step in vaccine development.

Cutting the red tape requiring animal testing saves lives
Moderna Therapeutics just reported that, based on early human trials, its COVID-19 vaccine is a staggering 94.5% effective at preventing infection. This is promising news for a nation whose public health and economy have been crippled by the pandemic. And it wouldn’t have been possible, especially this quickly, if Moderna hadn’t skipped animal testing red tape that is typically forced on pharmaceutical companies by the Food and Drug Administration before a drug can be administered to humans.

Nothing will come out of this because many are blatantly BREAKING THE LAW and no one is getting arrested.
I never trusted the man.
