No, the mRNA vaccines did not skip human studies. Phase I, II and III human trials were conducted.

Do you happen to have the clintrials.gov link? I've found several but none with actual trial results.
It is true results are not yet posted to ClinicalTrials.gov.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728 (Pfizer, >40000 participants)

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04470427 (Moderna, 30000 participants)

The most detailed public reports I've seen are:

https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download (53 pages)

https://fda.report/media/144673/Moderna+COVID-19+Vaccine+rev... (61 pages)

I think the actual applications had a thousand pages or so, but I haven't found them online.
