“Then, the researchers gave each participant an intranasal live-virus vaccine against rhinovirus 39...”
Joking aside, what part of this seems improperly managed by the IRB?
- lsc 9y agonot badly managed... I just didn't think it was okay to make people sick for your study; perhaps "I don't understand what standards are applied by the ethics board." would have been more correct.
- notlob 9y agoIt’s a risk/benefits balance. Rhinovirus 39 is very low risk, especially under controlled conditions. Loneliness in the developed Western world is a growing problem, so gaining a better understanding of what impact it will have has clear benefits.
