Because if it's not passed or needs to be altered it's a big waste of money, raw materials and brainpower.

Depends how many you have to do it with. Opening up the economy fully six months earlier will be worth trillions, as long as you don’t waste much before you hit a vaccine you’re up. Of course if there is no vaccine you throw billions away for nothing. Or if it goes away anyway.

I see what you're saying, I just think that thrown in with the other expensive punts the government has gone on it makes sense to accelerate the testing so we get an answer quicker, rather than mass produce it and have it not pass.

But we can’t wait years for it, how is years of it coming back going to do any good

It wouldn't take years to get enough test data to be satisfied that it works and is safe. Would you be happy taking an untested medicine? Of course not.

Well yeah we're testing it I just want the testing done before we start making it. It's not a big problem surely?
Yes it is a problem though! So fine the testing all works and it’s approved! Then we’ll have to wait weeks/months for it to be scaled up and available to use.....thankfully the government are making it so that once it hopefully gets approved it will be straight away given to those that most need it


It’s crazy what you are suggesting, basically that if one works we’ll then have to wait months for it to be scaled up to give the public

All I'm saying is get enough evidence that it works and has no unintended side effects. Otherwise you're asking people to take a placebo-that really is the crazy thing to do, no disrespect.

Oh what and wait years and years? One of the stupidest comments I’ve ever seen, we need to end this and fast so it doesn’t keep coming back
Utterly stupid to develop a vaccine properly? My word, you're a moron and a half.

Dunno what you're worried about anyway, you're off to the pub because you're not scared.

I don't want to be given something where process is shortcut, either. By all means accelerate it, but don't shortcut.

I think there’s two things here. Doms right that starting manufacturing ahead of time is probably a good idea *if that vaccine is showing promise*. Others are right that we have to be careful to pick a winner because of the cost. I’m not sure any of us aside maybe BSB know enough to know if this vaccine shows the right amount of promise in comparison to the 150 others.

He was clearly referring to the combining of testing stages 2 and 3 as being the "shortcut".
But I don’t get how combining the stages to try and end a world pandemic as early as possible could be bad in any way? Like it has to be pushed quicker than anything else
