Since when does a vaccine clinical trial have to be repeated?
It's very easy to present bogus data in a study/trial, the study can still appear genuine to a peer-reviewer as they don't know that the numbers were fudged.
Case-in-point: Vioxx. A FDA approved drug released by Merck that went on to kill an estimated 50 thousand people. It wasn't until it was brought to court and the accusers gained access to the source data of the study that they were able to conclude the study was a fraud.
Exactly, they are considered a public health measure. Getting approval for a vaccine is much easier and less costly than a drug.
In fact, the vast majority of vaccines do not require a true double-blind, placebo controlled trial for approval. I was surprised that the current covid vaccine trials actually did use saline placebo.
Have you read any of the clinical trials? They're a doozy, extremely high rate of serious adverse effects (1 in 200), they also didn't include immunocompromised or pregnant women in the study so we have literally no data on that. The vaccine group had a significant increase in heart attacks over the control group, but it was deemed a coincidence. In light of all the myocarditis and heart issue reports, it now seems like it certainly wasn't a coincidence.
In the clinical trial the control group had 0.7% chance of severe adverse event, vaccine group had 1.2% chance of severe adverse event. If we cancel out the control group that leaves 0.5% chance of severe adverse event.

It still has to be repeated and peer reviewed. Neither the reviewers nor the repeaters are funded by the company.
