I believe not. I was part of a phase 1 clinical study for a vaccine, and I recall asking a question along these lines. They mentioned some medical care may be covered, but otherwise not. This was a few years ago so I could be mistaken.
- lamontcg 3y agoYeah so they're mostly seeking people who are willing to trade a small risk of some horrible lifelong autoimmune condition for $5k right now. Not surprising two of the other guys in the study have been to prison. Either human challenge trials should not reimburse at all, and seek the true believers in it, or they should cover all future medical bills for any chronic immune conditions that emerge in the next 3 months (and just one of those outcomes probably blows up the economic utility of challenge trials).
