It's quite odd for a person to assert falehoods while also saying "facts matter."

Dec 11 2020- publication of phase 2/3 trial results, meaning not only was the study fully completed, but it made it through peer review too: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577

Dec 11 - 2020: first authorization https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/health/pfizer-vaccine-aut...

A rushed phase3 was completed and there was no chance it wasn’t going to be.

You know damn well that wasn’t even remotely the normal process.

It’s ok, you don’t need to pretend anything about Covid was “by the book”.

The facts are not in your side, but you certainly do have a lot of unfounded FUD.
Find a single phase3 trail that was successful before deploying to the world.

Find ONE.

How about the one I linked?

Or take any cancer drug approval over the past decades, those all had phase 3 trials that succeeded before the drug was released.

I have to admit that I can even conceive of what your point is here, or why you are acting so emotional and indignant about the required step before drug approval, as if it doesn't exist.
