How many test subjects were immunised at 3am?

If the testing was on the critical path, there would be no good reason to wait till 9am the next day to start testing.

Yet as far as I'm aware, no testing was done at 3am immediately after lab certification at 2:57am...

This is one example of many where the vaccine development effort fell far short of the effort society should have put into it.

Sure, but is 6 hours all that significant when the trial needs to be multiple months in duration?

IMO we should instead focus on options like a rapidly expanding trial.

Hundreds of people die every hour from this.

Is it worth having a few people have to get up at an inconvenient time to save a thousand lives?
