… 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.
