What they are less aware of is how effective the vaccine will be in a real world setting. How long it will be effective, whether boosters will be needed. They could hold off on the EUA, conduct endless clinical trials while millions die or, they can do what they did.

How can somebody do a thorough risk-benefit analysis when they don't know the risks nor the benefits?
