Yes, but if you’re shipping people to COVID hotspots, you’re basically conducting challenge trials. There’s a lot of ethical issues surrounding that. I’m not totally against challenge trials for willing participants, but that would need to be part of the original scoping for that trial, with highly controlled conditions to prevent uncontrolled transmission and lots of medical support ready to treat anyone who develops serious symptoms; particular within any control group.
Fair point but, if they were in India now it would have been the result of a decision made long ago.
I was actually being partly facetious as you were I assumed.
