I saw this on Reddit and volunteered immediately. It is an ethical no-brainer, with the one caveat that the study is run well. I am not sure about this article though. It focuses on these young biologists who like me have not actually done anything yet, and suggests low volunteer numbers. Thinking of this as a fringe thing may undermine the effort. I think you would likely get on the order of 10M-100M global volunteers for something like this from all walks of life, and it's so obvious that it's worth considering that it just reads wrong to me. My impression from listening to the CEO of Moderna and others that most people are more worried about the safety of the vaccine and the speed to ramp up manufacturing, not the efficacy.
