As I posted in another comment here, animal testing was done on both vaccines in Phase 1 testing. Both vaccines are currently in Phase 3 trials, which are expanded trials that last several years to gather more data.
And you're implying--for Christ only knows what reason (though I suppose today we could ask)--that the phase 3 trial component of an NDA is cursory and optional. Why tho
I was pointing out that OP lied. Animal testing was done early one in phase 1. Whether or not we're part of phase 3 now is an entirely different question, and one that was answered the whole time. The government granted exemption from full testing in order to rush the vaccine out in what was seen as an extenuating circumstance of a growing pandemic.
You can argue with whether or not you feel it was necessary, but don't lie and pretend animal testing wasn't done, or that there weren't clearly stated public reasons for why the vaccines were rushed through testing and released while still in phase 3 trials etc.
I get people say that animal testing has been done, human testing has been done no problem argument. Can you educate me on that? Why do they say it?

The OP has zero idea what they're talking about and is just posting antivaxxer propaganda.

Never did.
