Comment on Announcement: Tightening of anti-vax ban

Oh no! I'm so scared!

I didn't mean that they didn't get approved by the FDA, so don't cry. I meant that they skipped many typical vaccine test requirements because of Trump's Operation Warp Speed plan.

They have long since gone through the full approval process. Plus the millions vaccinated. They are far from "untested".

  They are tested, they just haven't been as thoroughly tested as previous vaccines. While they have indeed gone through the full approval process, that process was shortened in order to get vaccines rolled out in a timely enough fashion to respond to the pandemic.

    You are confusing two things. They went through the shortened process ("Warp Speed") initially to get them out with emergency approval, but after they were out they were further taken through the full (as in, not shortened) process and now have full approval.
