Is CDC dragging its feet over a COVID-19 vaccine?

The TV showed a brave volunteer taking the experimental COVID-19 vaccine.  She was taking a risk, that risk being that the experimental vaccine might actually infect her rather than granting immunity.  Hoist a glass to her, let's admire her courage. 
The TV is also saying that it might take a year to get the vaccine approved, assuming it works and is safe.  Some testing is obviously in order, but a year's worth??  Or is that the time CDC and FDA and who knows who want to go over the paperwork?  They ought to be talking about streamlining the paperwork, and cutting the testing down as far as they dare. 
   How come we ain't hearing that kind of talk out of CDC and the rest of 'em???
