I'm still surprised the scandal of how Pfizer's clinical trial for COVID-19 was designed isn't widely known - most specifically with how the app to collect clinical trial participant reports was designed:
1) there was no free-form writing field to mark down symptoms that weren't on an existing list of pre-approved or allowed-to-be-reported symptoms, and
2) the clinical research director for the ignored participants who attempted to contact them to report symptoms not reportable in the app.

- bondarchuk 2y agoJust a heads up, you're gonna have to give a source that's not a youtube video if you want to be taken seriously.
- loceng 2y agoWho would you accept as a credible source? Will it be from any of the people complicit in what's being testified to in an official government senate hearing?
- cryptonector 2y ago> Just a heads up, you're gonna have to give a source that's not a youtube video if you want to be taken seriously. Are you kidding? Sure there's lots of garbage at YT, but so what, you can often tell if something is hot garbage or real. Anyways, this is testimony taken by Senator Ron Johnson. It's trivial for you to verify that Senator Johnson is the one running that meeting, and that this is video of that meeting, and you can follow up with his office if you have any questions. You would know this if you merely loaded the video, even if you didn't watch more than 5 seconds of it. You asked for a source, and you got it, and it is a reputable source even if it is a YouTube video.

- jtbayly 2y agoThanks! Combined with the other link to the BMJ article, it's pretty concerning.
- logicchains 2y agoHere's a source on the trial being poorly run: https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635 https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635 .
- jtbayly 2y agoThanks! I haven't heard anything about this before.
