>AMA?
Have you experienced any side effects, even mild like injection pain or fatigue? I'm in the Moderna study and feel pretty disappointed that I may have gotten the placebo.
- divbzero 6y ago… or you might have been lucky with getting minimal side effects. Double blinded placebo controls are critical to clinical trials so you shouldn’t be disappointed one way or the other. Even if you are in the control group you’ll have the opportunity to get the vaccine after you’ve helped prove its efficacy and safety.
- refurb 6y agoThat’s actually a big concern. The FDA will likely approve based on an interim readout of data. However, they will want the full set of data around safety and efficacy. But what happens if a vaccine gets approved while you’re in a trial and not sure if you got the placebo? Well, you can drop out and just get the approved vaccine. Of course that will trash the original trial you were in.
- maxehmookau 6y agoYes. After my first jab I had mild fever and mild arm pain (in both arms!) for a week. After the second jab, I had no side-effects. It's been quite a few months now since my first jab and I have no long-term effects whatsoever.
- breakingcups 6y agoDid they disclose what the control group got as a placebo? For instance, in this study it's a meningitis vaccine, so it could still have those side-effects if you've never had that vaccine.
- aphextron 6y ago> Did they disclose what the control group got as a placebo? The control for Moderna is just saline, which is why I'm fairly certain I got it. No side effects whatsoever, not even soreness.
