The shear number of vaccinations is very strong empirical data, that more than makes up for the shorter test regime. Usually Phase 3 is a perhaps 100,000 to 300,000 people over months or years. 320M over 3 months has that well and truly covered. It's the EUAs that permit that acceleration, because nobody writing the rules ever expected such huge trial data. I won't be surprised to find it never goes back to the bad old ways, based on laws from half a century ago!
Longitudinal studies can be compressed in time by increased participant numbers.
I realise Joe Average doesn't get the 320M over 3 months is the same as 80M over a year or 20M over four years, nor do they get Monte Carlo simulations or other analysis techniques.
Unfortunately for the sceptics, and fortunately for the rest of the world, the truth of the situation is exposed by the huge numbers already safely and effectively vaccinated, and it is very very real not just an allegation!
