-Vaccines generally take 10 to 12 years to produce
So if I understand correctly, whereas it normally takes nearly a decade to create a vaccine, two companies were able to create vaccines in a year that manipulates mRNA which has never been done before. If this screws you up, neither company is held liable (I don't think a company should be able to profit in scenarios like this. It does not build good incentives). It feels as though the public are guinea pigs in an experimental treatment. I hope for all our sakes that nothing bad happens long term.
You misinterpret data like a good conspiracist.
One with enough brain cells would know that current technology allows for faster vaccine research than let's say 1953.
The polio vaccine had taken decades to research due to lack of technology, and only when the epidemic of 1953 where over 3,000 people died, did Salk expedite his process to develop the IVP and have it ready for use in 1955.
mRNA technology has been around for decades (there's your 10-20 years). mRNA vaccines have been studied before for flu, Zika, rabies, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). As soon as the necessary information about the virus that causes COVID-19 was available, scientists began designing the mRNA instructions for cells to build the unique spike protein into an mRNA vaccine.
