Hopefully our regulatory bodies are functioning correctly because this sounds like Moderna trying to beat Pfizer to the market, which is not how we want these drugs created.
of course we want moderna trying to beat pfizer to the market! why wouldn’t we?
(agreed, we also want functioning regulatory bodies)
Products rushed to market tend to be poorly tested, poorly thought out and often suffer from mistakes that would have been easily identified if the schedule wasn't set by trying to beat a competitor to market.
The testing is the most regulated part. We DO want them to get this to market asap!
