Sure, Alex should update his criticism, but it's still valid to look back at why it took this long; First Doses First has been out for a while - it's been 2 months since, for example, Tony Blair publicly advocated for it. I think the gains we would get from even a single day earlier application of First Doses First probably outweighs the pain caused to the FDA by Alex criticizing them. https://www.businessinsider.com/blair-one-covid-19-vaccine-s... |

What Alex is doing is ragebaiting. That's not noble.
Anyway, it's far from established that either strategy is superior, at this point. There are a ton of factors including execution factors that have nothing to do with clinical trials.
My point is this: It seems like unless the FDA conforms exactly to Alex' opinion on any given day, they are corrupt quacks. It's so arrogant, and a case in point for poisonous discourse. This flavour of rhetoric shots down openness. All you can do is hide behind vague press releases and say as little as possible in public.
If I were working on vaccine development, approval or deployment, I would be trying to stay anonymous. These "open society" people are at the helm of an assault on open discourse.
