100% yes. In a heartbeat. ~30,000 volunteers with just a placebo against a disease with a >99% survival rate vs having NO CONTROL GROUP for a new class of vaccines that we inject in over 1,000,000,000 people. We have diseases with fatality rates of 50% that we still keep placebo groups for. This was not a hard decision. We had a very clear scientific way to judge the long term efficacy of the vaccines but they dropped it. It was not to save lives—the math doesn't add up—it was because they made the sale and didn't want to "sell past the close".
