The vaccines were NOT approved by Fast Track or Breakthrough Therapy pathways.

The vaccines were approved through Emergency Use Authorization. Since no Covid vaccine had ever been produced before, the manufacturers and FDA had to come to an agreement on trial design, data needs and minimum thresholds.

That’s what OWS helped facilitate.

Why would the FDA need OWS to help them? How do you know OWS helped, and didn't hinder or wasn't completely irrelevant?
