It isn’t true.
Placebo is only given in the context of a clinical trial. If you’re in a clinical trial, it’s because you specifically enrolled yourself in a clinical trial and filled out a ton of paperwork to get into it. An Emergency Use Authorization is not a clinical trial. It would be illegal to knowingly give you a placebo and it would be an exceedingly rare mistake for that to happen in the real world (as rare as getting a placebo for any medication you’re supposed to be given).
I certainly didn’t think so. Otherwise, it would have been laughable.
“It would be illegal to knowingly give you a placebo” but, I submit, not unethical in the instant matter.
Ok. I thought this was a clinical trial. And they will give placebos. But what your saying makes sense.
Thanks for saving me the time to type an exasperated response
Well then how come when asked for the left over vial after it has been exhausted (residue, not enough for additional administrations), for purposes of testing what was just injected, the answer is no?
