All we needed to do was change the vaccines a little bit to cover the new Novel Coronavirus. So the current Vaccines we have are considered safe because of all of the previous work and tests done when developing this new vaccine. Sure we should and could test more, but by that time the world would have lost at least 1/3rd if not more of the population before we roll out the vaccine. So, because this new Coronavirus is a lot more contagious and a lot more deadly, we needed to take action to get ahead of it and try to control the spread. I can almost guarantee that if this virus was really contagious, but didn't kill anyone, we wouldn't care, just like the common cold.

There is no misconception: I never said it wasn't tested, just that it didn't go through the usual proper channels as many other vaccines. Don't misconstrue what I said. Would also appreciate that you refrain from hyperboles like 1/3 or more of ppl getting killed by this virus when obviously it's nowhere near that. Stick w facts and not sensationalism.
Like I said in a previous post, unfortunately there are way too many ppl who just refuse to critically think things through.
