    Not true? I'm talking about a hypothetical scenario. "Not true" makes no sense.

    There are plenty of dangerous products where problems crop up years in the future, anyway.

      I thought you were making a statement that when problems emerge, they are usually years down the road, which isn't true in general. Sometimes it happens, but there is little you can do for that, even if production wasn't accelerated, if problems showed up after 10 years you wouldn't catch them. Like, yeah, such products exist, but it's rare (and usually has to do with long term exposure, not a one off thing like a vaccine, there has never been a vaccine the negative effects of which took years to show up) and it's definitely not the standard we should be operating on in general because then we'd be fucked.
