Failed?

as of 1 hour ago, as per https://www.bbc.com/news/world-54082192

"In large trials, illnesses will happen by chance but must be independently reviewed to check this carefully", an Oxford University spokesperson said.
This is the second time the Oxford coronavirus vaccine trial has been put on hold, our correspondent notes. Such events are routine in major trials, and happen any time a volunteer is admitted to hospital when the cause of their illness is not immediately apparent.
It is thought the trials could resume in a matter of days.

Trust in this vaccine trial is lost because something happened that happens in all vaccine trials?

"Failed" is an exaggeration. Bumps like this are typical in any vaccine trial. It remains to be seen whether or not it will be able to overcome them, since it's a given that many candidates will end up failing, but it's too soon to give up hope on it.

To be fair, this is really the first time humanity has ever been sufficiently invested in the development of a vaccine to keep tabs on everything that stumbles. That's part of why people are responding with such distrust to public health agencies changing their minds: They're not used to paying attention to the full scientific process and they don't expect so many wrong guesses, so they see such changes in consensus as a sign of incompetence. This is completely normal and well within expectations for any vaccine development process, but it is going to sow distrust because the general public isn't scientifically literate enough to know that and hasn't paid enough attention to prior vaccine trials to know to expect it.

Apparently patient had neurological symptoms - the mind-control part of the vaccine is still a little buggy.

Do not worry, we fix it so mind-control part will work fine, comrade!

Exactly. Saying "it's normal" is not comforting, it's a scary revelation for lots.

They said that the virus is disappearing so fast that the vaccines reliability could be only 50% or less, so theyre racing to get one out.

Read that again if you have to.

Maybe there's a reason it takes more than one year to develop a vaccine.
I would never take a vaccine that has been rushed to the market.

Scary enough that people are generally going to be more inclined to cling to their belief that it's not normal than to accept that this is what has always been (and will always be) happening behind the curtain.
