Yep, I used averages not made-up numbers.
The reason everyone has to get it is so that the average goes down to 0, for everyone.
7 million trials is not limited data. It's dramatically, and I do mean dramatically more data than basically any other clinical trial for any other drug you've ever heard of. By probably 2 orders of magnitude. It's simply not limited data.
The average phase 3 trial has 300-3000 participants [1]. Not seven million.
