It is nothing short of absurd that we’re still arguing over the severity of this pandemic when our screens are full of the hard evidence.

You observed the same numbers of test patients and the same duration of trial stages. You also observed the various stages overlapping, and production commencing before final trials were complete. This was a risk, because had any of the prior stages thrown up any serious issues, they would have to have discarded the subsequent work and start again. It was a risk only taken because of the emergency. A drug company operating under normal commercial rules wouldn’t do this. Fortunately each stage of the trials went as hoped, and the drug companies have been able to supply the product they had already made, once the trials concluded it was safe.

But you already knew all this, because you’re an observant sort of person. Aren’t you?
I wasn't referring to myself, it was more a generalisation re observers, on a personal note, i think you credit me with powers of observation that i don't have
