Instead they went ahead and awarded funds to several at the same time for simultaneous further testing and development, saving probably three months in the process.

As I understand it the Pfizer vaccine did not rely on federal funds so they were not affected by this. They still had to present test results for safety approval.

The emergency use authorization came after the various vaccines were shown to be demonstrably safe, and not before. This is why the authorizations came on different dates for each of the brands (as each test group completed and the results were analyzed).

So we already know that all of the vaccines available in the USA are safe, the only question left was the level of effectiveness. If they were shown to be ineffective (or no more effective than a placebo) they would have been withdrawn. There is always a need to make sure ineffective medicines and treatments are kept off of the market.

We have already seen the incidences of Covid cases collapse after the introduction of the vaccines in late December, we know the products are effective and safe. No reason to shun them.
Pfizer got over 1 billion for vaccine efforts. Look it up. Couldn't be a coincidence that the former commissioner of the FDA sits on the board of Pfizer could it? and first vaccine to be approved! What a coincidence!

If you have proof that the Pfizer vaccine is unsafe or ineffective, please bring it forward.

It is no secret that the Trump administration was in bed with Big Pharma, and yes they recruited from the drug companies and it is no surprise they have strong ties.

Alex Azar, Trump's Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was a president of Eli Lilly, and personally responsible for the raising of drug prices on helpless individuals, but that's who Trump wanted in our government. We see the same kind of influence problem with military contractors for decades and in all administrations. It stinks.

However, the vaccines are safe and effective, and the assumed corruption of the last previous administration does not change that.

If not you have the option of home schooling and as for Employees who don't want to comply with their Employer's Vaccination mandates maybe they can freelance themselves and make money on YouTube instead or some other nefarious source of income.
You consider YouTube a "nefarious" source of income?

2 weekends ago, Trump held a rally in Alabama, just 2 days after the city declared a Covid state of emergency.

Trump encouraged rally attendees to get vaccinated. His loyal followers booed him, likely the first time that happened at a Trump rally.

Not likely Trump will ever say anything about vaccine, going forward.

Go read the warnings about the Pfizer vaccine from the CDC. Last I knew Trump is not President, creepy Joe is. And the former FDA commissioner is still on the board of Pfizer. Then we have Biden freezing Trumps executive order to lower insulin prices. Yeah your insistence that all of this is due to corruption in the last administration completely disregards which administration is in control now! Time to get your head out of the sand.

Then why have they come out faster than any other vaccine in history?

I didn't say UNtested, I said BARELY tested. This IS the test, and we won't know the final results for YEARS!

How do we KNOW they are safe? Because most (not even all) people that received this stuff didn't just drop dead immediately? Show me five years of data that show they're safe.

NO! You're the one asserting they're safe, YOU PROVE THAT THEY ARE!

So show us five years of data say that they're safe.

That's what they claim. However, there's no way to prove it. People were mostly having mild or no symptoms before the vaccines. Now, they are crediting what was already happening prior to the vaccines to the vaccines. Obvious deception.

Hell, show me 3 years. The typical FDA approval process (stage 1, 2, and 3) lasts years. Stage 1: several months; stage 2: several months to 2 years; stage 3: 1-4 years.

We have nowhere near that data. Not to mention, Pfizer "unblinded" the control group, and many of them subsequently were vaccinated. Sounds like a great way to collect unbiased data.

Helps when a large percentage of those that you vaccinate have a very low risk of hospitalization in the first place -- e.g. under 30 and not obese.
