-Ongoing research necessary for the approval of a treatment is itself a massive red flag in the sense that its disregard is a code smell which suggests that the approval process is superfluous, as it's not demonstrated to be a necessary component to determining safety and use of the product. It begs the question of why there even needs to be an approval process, at all, or - at the very least, the approval process being sought for this particular therapy is likely to be erroneous and redundant.

+The excuse for this is our emergency situation, but I don't think most reasonable people would assert that the handling is proportional, nor would it even be proportional had the treatment been available at the onset of the situation (the era, one might say). So what does this mean? Given that the response is so widespread, so highly politicized, and bearing aspects which cause reasonable people to question, to a remarkable degree, the logic of the decisions being made, one might be inclined to consider it prudent to wonder if the handling is indeed not proportional, and that the risk were not an emergency.

+Another factor worth mentioning is the fact that so many conclusions are drawn around particular concerns which take time to understand. The most obvious of these are those surrounding reproductive health. It has already been said, plenty of times, that one could not expect to have a clear understanding of the effects on a woman's reproductive capacity, capacity to breastfeed, and what the consequences of these things might be. But a more worths version of such a study would be one which compares multiple pregnancy periods of couples that have different configurations with respect to their status. It should reasonably be expected to take a plurality of cases, some of which are cases in sequence by the same people, and use this to make an informed decision.

+That being said, to conclude that the research has demonstrated safety, or that it has failed to demonstrate a lack of safety, for a particular cohort for whom repetition of a particular action, which itself cannot hav ebeen performed even one time, is necessary to be considered before having the capacity to assert a position or opinion, is a major red flag that the research itself has not been done.
