If you knew anything, you'd know this isn't the reason why getting vaccine approval takes so long. It takes so long because there's a mountain of bureaucrats, lawyers, researchers, and money required to get stuff moving along. Vaccines are pretty low the totem pole for companies and the government to give a shit about, since they're usually about prevention and not treatment. Companies and the government can't throw everything at a vaccine to approve. The only reason the covid vaccine was streamlined was because, you guessed it, we were and are in a global pandemic. Nothing about the approval of vaccines was abnormal, it still took nearly 2.5 years.

I wouldn't say they're "low on the totem pole", they're supposed to be one of the most strictly regulated medical products. In part because vaccine producers can't be held liable for anything - so extensive testing and review is needed.

That industry isn't just peanuts either, it's one of the largest industries in the world.

2.5 years is abnormal (and testing hadn't finished when everything started becoming mandated). The global population was the test lol.

Google how long all the other vaccines we have took to get approval, ~10 years seems pretty normal, maybe not in your country though. Hopefully it never comes to this again

It's so funny how you guys operate. Even when confronted, you just cherry-pick what's being said and strip away the context to push the exact same anti-science and anti-truth positions that were just given retorts. I don't know if it's ignorance or wilful deceit, but either way, people like you are a net negative to humanity.

Then be more accurate. Provide some sources for the misinformation you're spouting.
