And that is a rather large control group isn’t it?

That’s not the real reason for such a long development period. The real driver time-wise was the desire to save money. Everything was done in sequence with long delays between events. Warp Speed did things in parallel saving time. You may find this interesting:

I guess we’ll all find out the long term effects 3 and 5 years. Too bad there won’t be any way then to halt the “trial”, if there is an extreme long term effect such as suppressing the body’s innate immune response.
Exactly! With all the warp speed stuff, we were able to take trials that look at one- or two-year data, and instead look at the data in two months!
Yes, big chunks of time were saved in fundraising and admin times, but to actually get trial data that’s reliable and useful, the trials themselves need way more months than they had. Corners, hell, sections of the building, were clearly cut.
