The problem is that the vaccines need to be redone every year. This has resulted a couple of times in flu vaccines having to be recalled. There is no multi-year testing of flu vaccines. There is also an issue with flu vaccines and their relatively low effectiveness since months before flu season, the manufacturers are taking their best guess as to what mutated influenza viruses will be common months in the future.

The Covid vaccines are approved by the FDA. As for an FDA development path? I'm tempted to ask what you've been smoking. Moderna developed their mRNA vaccine in conjunction with US NAIAD and BARDA while BioNTech developed their vaccine in Germany and then partnered with Pfizer and Fosun. Oddly the videos showing magnets sticking to the arms of people who has purportedly received mRNA vaccines could not be duplicated by any semi-trustworthy sources.
Since you are so fond of the FDA, I would assume that you read their
COVID-19 Vaccines page? Though to me, FDA approvals are of intellectual interest only since Health Canada approves vaccines in this neck of the woods.
