This is wrong in two big ways:

1. The FDA requires six months of clinical data to establish safety before FDA approval. The normal requirements for FDA approval absolutely were followed

2. With longer-term studied it's not like we don't know anything about them until it's complete. Data is released on a rolling basis so we know how the results of the studies so far, and (surprise!) data so far say it's safe.

And in the cases where there have been question marks that have come up about safety (AZ, JJ), even with miniscule likelihood, those have quickly been withdrawn.
