When the term fast-tracked is used - it doesn't mean that corners have been cut. I was of the same mind as you @Freida but a scientist & journalist here in Australia explained briefly on ABC Corona virus update what 'fast-tracked' meant.
He described the usual process that a vaccination takes of being linear eg. one phase begins, ends & then funding is found for the next phase once the results have been examined.
With the vaccine research for this pandemic he explained that companies are being given all of the funding to run each phase simultaneously. So if at any point a vaccine fails in any of it's trials - it will be evident much faster than waiting years and years for one stage to finish and the next to begin only to have it also fail or not.
But I also completely understand your opinion because science has inadvertently caused much harm at times. But worse, the reluctance of the various authorities to step up and take accountability.
