Definitely agree that the vaccine development has been a huge success. Just wondering about (what appears to me to be) slack in the process that could be removed. Another commenter suggests that the drug companies and the FDA are already in close communication including trial data.

That is always the case, yes.

I guess I'm left wondering why you wrote a whole post of your own to ask questions that you could have answered by searching for the large amount of information that is already out there about this process, possibly the most-closely-tracked vaccine development process in history. But hey, it's a free internet, more or less.
