Coronavirus: Oxford vaccine trial issues warning after participants share swabs
- LandR 6y agoI don't understand what is happening here. The participants in the trial have to submit swabs on a regular basis? ANd they are swabbing friends and famiy and submitting this instead of their own? Why?
- Proven 6y agoI wonder if there's some financial compensation involved - if yes and too many people applied, the lucky winners may be outsourcing to others (some of whom have been exposed).
- Johnjonjoan 6y agoPresumably if your swab comes back as positive for the virus you'll be notified. It seems to me someone could pseudo test a friend or family member by sending their swab instead.
- jobigoud 6y agoAnyone knows how they identify a swab is not from the participant? Do they DNA test every swab?
