Perhaps only peripherally related, researchers in Germany studied the effectiveness of the novavax vaccine in something like real time, and over a period of months. I don't know the study's population size except that it was large enough to earn the respect of professionals. It would be worth knowing what data base those researchers had access to. Also, in Australia, there was one moment in late pandemic when the government issued what seemed to be, for them, a surprising public health order.

Maybe they knew something at a population level? These would be easy-enough examples to follow up on.

That would still leave the question of who would manage such information - there were many times during the pandemic when I wished for a more useful body than the Public Health Agency of Canada, and probably that wouldn't have been entirely their fault. Who will rid us of this mess?
