That’s not the issue at hand. The issue is an article claiming pathogenic material was tested on people.
An article talking about the ins and outs of IRB process approval would be much more informative, or going into detail about what is and is not ethical.
False or at best misleading statements of pathogenic biological tests on people bring us no nearer to actually talking intelligently about the issues or making better decisions.

They are the substrate. “ They wrote that clouds engulfed people as trains pulled away, but that they "brushed their clothing, looked up at the grating apron and walked on." No one was concerned. Army scientists concluded that it took between four and 13 minutes for train passengers to be exposed to the bacteria.” If they put the bacteria in the system with no human interaction I’m sure the study would be much less valuable.
- crazygringo 3y agoNo, it spreads via the air. Air transmission was the study, how far the bacteria traveled in air measurements. Nothing was about human-to-human transmission. This wasn't about contagion at all. I'm not defending the study in any way but at least let's get our facts right.
