Imagine being an engineer/scientist that worked on the vaccine because you really want to "save humanity" and all that. A good cause, right?
Then you come out with an experimental vaccine, test it on a group, and you find it works but it has these weird side effects, and you, being an actual human being with a conscience tell your higher ups that they need to take more time to research it, it's not ready yet. We don't know the long term consequences, you can't in good conscience release this thing and have it adversely affect someone, even if it's a 1 out of a million chance from getting side effects of it.
And despite your begging to your superiors, they push it through anyway, telling you if you say something they will kick you out of your job.
Fuck man. I'm sure the engineers/scientists that worked on these were happy in one sense to create something humanity will benefit from, but I imagine there's GOT to be some of these that are losing sleep at how quickly this was rushed out just so they can get that government GIBS/welfare from the Feds for being the first one done.
Yes, this happens.
As for how the scientists and engineers feel, the only way to really rationalize it is to take a very utilitarian "the benefits outweigh the harms" approach to the work. In general when you're working on stuff that can kill people that's the approach you have to take: in any complex system like a car or plane there will be some combination of failures that will kill everyone aboard. But you do the best you can to minimize those, and you sleep at night.
It's when you know you could have done more and weren't able to that the inability to sleep at night occurs.
