#266% effectiveness in one shot is better than 50% - 1/2 shots where there is not enough vaccines to go around.
In some places people are not getting both shots of vaccines. FDA approved two different shots of 2 shot vaccines.
At this time they should just immunize everybody with one shot at least.

#366% protection against getting moderate to severe Covid but 100% protection against death and hospitalization.
I have no idea how the FDA can hold back these vaccines in good conscience while peoples are dying by the thousands on a daily basis.

Have any trials been done to determine the efficacy of just 1 shot for the double dose vaccines?

Unpopular opinion: the FDA has to justify their existence. If vaccines can be developed safely and deployed quickly, inexpensively, and in large quantities all without FDA then people would realize how bloated our government really is.

Not yet, but you can kinda see it from the data. For Pfizer it was 60-70 after one dose already, iirc

We saw this with Boeing - as the private company realised that the regulatory body wasn't going to hold it accountable, the private company started trading off profit versus safety with the result being lower short term costs and more dangerous planes.

Would a partial or half immunized population not end up culturing a more resistant strain?

>If vaccines can be developed safely ... without FDA
You forgot a critical distinction: safely every time

#10imo 66% effectiveness is pretty good, not on a personal level, but at the population policy level. I'm glad to get another vaccine on the market soon.
