2 December 2020 - vaccine 2

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

AstraZeneca: Let’s try this dosing schedule, it seems best.
conscience: That’s a guess at what might work. How to achieve robustness?
AstraZeneca: Lots of people are making vaccines, that’s how.
conscience: Good enough.
real world: Har har har, now it is my turn! Some people got the wrong dose by mistake!
independent committee: The wrong dose was more effective.
AstraZeneca: Not good! Panic! How do we make it sound good?

clue:

The trials are rushed—for good reason. Experiments to find the best formulation and dosing would have slowed things down and let more people die. The people behind the successes as much lucky as good.

give me a clue so sweet and true
