Late 2020...well after they started developing the vaccines. I didnt see any data discussing their quantification for prioritization.
The first vaccination in the United States was on December 14, 2020. All of the variants I noted were identified before then. So, as I said, they didn’t account for the variants.
And when did development of the vaccinations begin?
What "phony, two faced bs "?
It is/we are:

Emergency use authorization still hasn’t been granted for all age groups and none of them are fully approved yet. But if your standard is only some people then that would be December 11th 2020 for the Pfizer vaccine, December 18th 2020 for the Moderna vaccine, February 27th 2021 for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and never for the AstraZeneca vaccine. And, of course, it was a long time before doses were available for the large scale rollout.
Look at you, scrambling way off topic. Re-read my post.
How is answering your questions off-topic? You asked me when the emergency use authorizations were issued and I told you.
You're not. How could the pharma companies have included the Delta variant in their research and development before May 2020 when it was only recognized *according to you* in late 2020?
Not a single dose had been administered when the variants were discovered. But since everyone was so desperate for something - anything - it didn’t really matter that there were four other variants floating around that hadn’t been accounted for.
??? So...when were they supposed to research the Delta variant for the vaccine for Operation Warp Speed (promised by end of 2020)...when it was only discovered (according to you) late 2020?
Clinical trials are one of the ways you determine that. And, unfortunately, those didn’t start happening with the variants until 2021. This was always going to be a problem with rushing and administering an experimental drug. Lots of unknowns because corners were cut for political reasons.
The failure is that nobody studied the effectiveness of the vaccines on these variants until after they were authorized and administered. A vaccine with comprehensive effectiveness isn’t something you develop at “Warp Speed.”
How is that a failure? Please explain. You said Delta was discovered in Dec. 2020. The vaccine was already being distributed in Dec 2020. How could they have studied it before that?
They had emergency approval Dec. 11, 2020 and were distributing it in Dec 2020...which is when you said they discovered Delta.
They knew it existed in December. They knew two others existed in August and October.
Are you really trying to argue that they should have researched something they didnt know existed?
Stop being obtuse. They knew it existed in December and they knew two others existed in August and October. You’re grasping at straws.
Yes, they should have done the due diligence in clinical trials instead of shrugging their shoulders at the entire continent of South America and sub-continent of India.
Thank you. Your stated position is that the vaccine developers failed (your word) in creating the vaccines and should have waited until we knew all the possible variants.
No, you’re just being deliberately obtuse because your ignorance of the facts was exposed. The Delta and Lambda variants were known in December and none of the developers bothered to study them in clinical trials. As a consequence, they’re ravaging India and South America. But I guess getting your white people shot is more important to you. You’re dismissed.
