- nradov 5y agoNo one ever claimed that it was the best option, just that it was the only option clinically tested. It would have been irresponsible to recommend a different option without at least some limited clinical trials. Sometimes you can't wait for perfect data.
- ttul 5y agoGamble is the wrong word for this. It was a calculated risk as is everything in a pandemic or other evolving threat to public health.
- inglor_cz 5y agoI still think that something else was unethical: not running challenge tests. There were enough volunteers for them.
