Why mRNA vaccines (biologics) couldn't be developed in 9 years, let alone 9 months...
...unless, of course, they lied?
I’ve said this before
In February this year, I posted: 12 MONTHS TO DEVELOP A DRUG—PULL THE OTHER ONE, IT'S GOT BELLS ON
It’s a wee bit wordy, so I thought to do it in pictures. Below is a diagram taken from US Government Accountability Office Report GAO-07-49, titled:
NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT: Science, Business, Regulatory, and Intellectual Property Issues Cited as Hampering Drug Development Efforts
The diagram was created by PhRMA, the trade association for the US pharmaceutical industry. That makes it straight from the horse’s mouth.
(Ignore for the minute the horrific attrition statistics showing it takes 250 new molecular entities in development to gain a single FDA approval).
In total, the development time from entry into preclinical assessment (STAGE 2) to successful approval, is c. 11.5 years…
…and remember, mRNA injections are an order of magnitude more difficult to manufacture than the products in the GAO Report.
A more detailed breakdown
The point is that each stage of a clinical trial…
