You mean Pfizer's vax testing?

There had been a lot of testing of the MRNA concept and base structure.

What Pfizer and Moderna were testing was the covid specific modifications.

The delivery mechanism had already been tested, so the only thing necessary was to test if the little fragments of virus spikes which are supposed to stimulate antibodies, actually stimulated antibodies. It's a vaccine not a cure, so it didn't take much time to inject people and then test their blood for antibodies. They found antibodies, and the patients didn't die from some unknown side effect, so what else was there to study? It's not like they would have a control group that gets an injection that does nothing and then test to see that nothing had happened (that was the kind of tests that already had been done on the delivery platform long before covid has been seen). Your concept of what needed to be tested is seriously flawed.
