A Bluesky post

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called “equipoise.”

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That’s specifically why vaccine trials don’t use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

    I really wonder what the chuds are saying about this sort of stuff. Here’s what I imagine…

    Look, people die. Even babies die. It happens. But we can afford to pay for all this woke stuff! Americans used to be a tough, hardy people. Maybe some babies have to die so we get tough again.
