If they are saying 20 million doses by the year's end, then they did go through all the testing and are set for release to the public. Which, yes I checked, they did.
And for older vaccines, scientific ability was not nearly as advanced as it is now. Better science = better speed while maintaining accuracy.
It can't possibly be too much to ask that they actually release information to medical professionals that can save lives, such as why some people need a ventilator, because that means super early not yet known treatment could make a ventilator unnecessary.
It can't possibly be too much to ask that hard facts are released in a timely manner. Especially since that is what people need to feel empowered to emotionally survive the pain now and know exactly (no guesswork) what measures are good and what aren't.
