A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
No one would allow a full scale experiment until they see some compelling evidence so we have to do what we can.
- helsinkiandrew 5y agoThat’s the point, these small studies never give compelling evidence.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoDo you have a better idea? Please don't suggest a nationwide trial because that would be politically impossible in most countries; unless you can explain why this time it would be possible to get politicians and people to agree to it of course.
- helsinkiandrew 5y agoPerhaps western governments (or some organisation or philanthropists) could do a large scale long term trial in a 'cheaper' country which is close enough to the west so the results are transferable (The 12 year Kenyan trial is costing $13B) But it may be like Communism or Capitalism - you can't do a trial, you just need to persuade enough people and jump in.
