I discount all articles, since science journalism is terrible. I asked for the evidence beyond the technically troubled GWS paper. I still have no evidence of adverse effects of squalene adjuvants, and with 22 million doses out there one would think that anyone interested would have studied them for it. It's possible no one is interested, but somehow I doubt that.

Define "normal testing".. as has been pointed out, testing for a completely new vaccine would be till next year, and testing for seasonal vaccines is far shorter because the vaccine is identical, just the actual viruses used change. This one is like the seasonal; same vaccine, just a different virus. It's not a new vaccine, so a shorter testing period (but longer than the seasonal) is reasonable to those who do such things.

You or I can try to evaluate if that testing time is reasonable, but I don't think we'd be doing so based on anything resembling good reasons.

That's fine, but if you want your position to have merit you have to provide some support.. we have links to official sources, people who work in the industry posting, if you have information about how much testing has or has not been done then provide it. "There seems to be different information" isn't a compelling argument.

Sure, people most of the time think what they think for reasons far removed from the reality of the topic of thought. That's how the human mind works.. I don't get your point here.

So because we don't learn from some mistakes means that we never learn from any mistakes? This isn't a rational argument, it's an emotional one.

Mistakes from 30 years ago are very relevant because they are educational. Sometimes we learn, sometimes we don't, but to demonstrate that mistakes are being repeated requires evidence.
