How many of the EXEMPT will be controls?

[madison10]

Just because they got Ebola does not give the FDA the right to make them guinea pigs.

[Sacajaweau]

You know damn well, this is meant for the soldiers and it was ALWAYS Obama’s intention when he sent them.

[Black Agnes]

How many US patients have received placebos so far?

If not, why not?

[Black Agnes]

Ping.

[JT Hatter]

This is an abomination. People who think this way do not value human life. Placebos for ebola? How can they even consider the idea?

[trisham]

This is wrong.

[UCANSEE2]

Is Edward Cox going to volunteer to expose himself to ebola then take a placebo?

IF not, he should shut the heck up.

[Smokin' Joe]

This reeks of the Tuskegee Experiment sort of horrorshow for science mentality.

How about this?

All around the group who gets the vaccine will be your control group: those who do not. No placebo necessary. Compare those stats and if there isn't a significant difference the vaccine didn't work.

[Billthedrill]

Nope. That is entirely contrary to testing protocols - when a cure turns up it is not only unethical but illegal to deny it to the control group. The FDA needs to review its own rules.

[I want the USA back]

This will be called racist.

[machogirl]

“Quotas” will be worked into who lives and who dies.

[Diogenesis]

In my opinion, this plan is EVIL because there is already
a large historic control which is near 95% death rate,
for those over 45 years old, and with n~14,000.

Any differential in survival will be immediately
clinically obvious.

Unless, the plan (which it appears to be) is to introduce
this into the American heartland forever.

[Will88]

I think there is already extensive evidence that the controls, or untreated, are dying at a rate of 70%.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping...

He's channeling Sebelius.

"Some live, some gotta die."

Also he's an @$$hole.

[Darksheare]

Josef Mengele in charge of the FDA?

[petro45acp]

Hmmmmm

Double blind testing on a high rate terminal disease.....

That seems more a regulatory requirement, less a research one.

Maybe if the FDA got their noses out of research, there’d be more cures out there...

[Politicalkiddo]

I say we give the head of the CDC Ebola and then let him try the Placebo. It’s so easy to use others as test subjects for deadly diseases when your life is not on the line.

[CdMGuy]

Plain and simple, this guy is a POS of the first order who should have been fired one nanosecond after making that statement.

[BuffaloJack]

Is this what our Ebola exposed troops are for?
