Earlier quoted context omitted.

The only ‘speedy’ aspect is starting the trials quicker There’s no way to speed up the actual results of the trials.

Of course there is. It’s a lot easier to say something has no harmful side effects if patients are observed for longer after taking it.

There is no base to this being done. What they are doing is starting phase 2 and phase 3 trials on vaccines that haven’t survived phase 1, yet. Under normal circumstances this would be extremely uneconomical.

My recently retired brother thinks that he will die soon. He's in excellent health. He believes that there will soon be a mandatory vaccine that will include nano-microchips to track and control people, and that he will be killed while resisting its administration. I don't even vaguely believe the microchip thing, but if it is mandatory and they do try to force it on him, I believe he is actually prepared to die figh…

Luckily we don't need a 100% compliance rate to have vaccination be effective. As long as vaccination pushes the reproduction number below 1 the virus should more or less peter out.

How many people need vaccinating depends on many factors. It'll be dependent on how effective the vaccine is, how many people can't get vaccinated due to nonfunctional immune systems or allergies etc, how many people will keep washing their hands diligently after the worst has passed, and many many other factors.

So with any luck mandatory vaccinations won't be necessary to beat corona virus allowing everyone to keep their bodily autonomy intact as far as vaccinations go.
