This is a follow-up study to the baseline study of the estimation of clinical trial success rates and related parameters. In that study, vaccine clinical trials succeeded only 33% of the time from 2000-2015 and for Vaccines (Infectious Disease) it took a median of about nine years to get through Phases 1-4 of all clinical trials, to obtain approval.

The data are clear: only 41% and 12% of all industry- and non-industry-sponsored vaccines, respectively, made it through all phases of clinical trials to obtain approval, and it takes about nine years at the median to obtain approval.

By contrast, the shots currently available had NO clinical trials of anything longer than a few months.

As I've said repeatedly, if people want to take the COVID19 shots because of commodities or age etc., then that's a personal choice and I'll never give you grief.

But for people who look at this data and have hesitancy, they shouldn't be treated like pariahs.
