"My worry is that this could mean a vaccine is administered before its efficacy and safety have been fully evaluated in animal models or clinical trials." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-00751-9">https://www.nature.com/articles/...

Don’t rush to deploy COVID-19 vaccines and drugs without sufficient safety guarantees

We must urgently develop measures to tackle the new coronavirus — but safety always comes first, says Shibo Jiang.
