Researchers don't have the teams to assemble study participants, manage their results, review their findings, and all the other stuff that goes into developing a vaccine that I have no clue about.

For all intents and purposes, the COVID vaccine is the most researched, studied, and critically scrutinized for effectiveness and safety we've ever seen. It just happened in a short amount of time, that's all.

By rushed I meant tested, poor choice of word on my part. I'm sure it has been well researched and studied, but it hasn't been out long enough to know possible long-term side-effects, thus no official FDA approval. Wanting to wait longer until more long-term use research has been established as well as full FDA approval doesn't make someone a bad person or a "coward".
